Team definition

A noun for a multitude or company, then for a nation or people. In the singular it can refer to the Jewish people. In the plural, especially as a set phrase, it often means the nations as distinct from Israel, commonly rendered Gentiles. Rom 15 uses both the citation “Rejoice, O Gentiles” (BSB) and the plural for Gentiles who have shared in spiritual things. Abbott-Smith compares the synonym λαός (laos).
