Bible Term: Gentile

In the Bible, a Gentile is anyone who is not a Jew. Gentile refers to all non-Jewish people and nations.

To say “Jew and Gentile” (Acts 14:5 or Romans 3:9) encompasses all people.

[Read verses on the Bible using the word Gentile.]

Key verse about Gentile: He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean (Acts 10:28, NIV).

A lifelong student of the Bible, Peter DeHaan, PhD, wrote the 1,000-page website ABibleADay.com to encourage people to explore the Bible. His main blog and many books urge Christians to push past the status quo and reconsider how they practice their faith in every area of their lives.
