Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: Ἄλλος (Strong'S #243 — Adjective — allos — al'-los )

is used, in its neuter form, allo, in  Galatians 5:10 , lit., "another thing," with the meaning "otherwise." See Other , No. 1.

2: Ἄλλως (Strong'S #247 — Adverb — allos — al'-loce )

the adverb corresponding to No. 1, is translated "otherwise" in  1—Timothy 5:25; the contrast is not with works that are not good (No. 3 would signify that), but with good works which are not evident.

3: Ἑτέρως (Strong'S #2088 — Adverb — heteros — het-er'-oce )

is used in  Philippians 3:15 , "otherwise (minded)," i.e., "differently minded." Contrast No. 2, and for the corresponding difference between the adjectives allos and heteros, see Another.

4: Ἐπεί (Strong'S #1893 — Conjunction — epei — ep-i' )

when used of time, means "since" or "when;" used of cause, it means "since, because;" used elliptically it means "otherwise" or "else;" "otherwise" in  Romans 11:6 (the 2nd part of the ver. is absent from the most authentic mss.);   Romans 11:22; in  Hebrews 9:17 , AV, "otherwise (it is of no strength at all)," RV, "for (doth it ever avail?)." See Else.

 Matthew 6:1 Luke 5:36  2—Corinthians 11:16Teach.
