Team definition
A noun for a people, often a body sharing race or language, and in biblical Greek very often for Israel as a people. The plural can mean peoples. It is sometimes set over against the nations. Rom 15:10 uses the singular of his people beside the nations, and Rom 15:11 uses the plural of peoples called to praise. The entry does not decide who is included in each case.
