What does "Ethnos" mean?

Ethnos is a Greek word used in the original manuscripts of the Bible. It is typically translated "nation," but does not refer to geo-political nations. Rather, it refers to specific cultural-lingual people groups. It is used in key passages in the Bible that talk about how God has a great desire and plan to bless all people, e.g., Genesis 12:3; Galatians 3:8; Matthew 28:19. We have chosen this name for ourselves to identify with this desire and plan.
