Differently, in another manner; otherwise
This adverb modifies how something is done or thought about, signaling an alternative approach or different perspective. Paul uses it in Philippians 3:15 as part of his confidence that God will reveal truth to those who think 'differently' about certain matters. The word suggests variation without necessarily implying wrongness—a charitable acknowledgment that believers may arrive at different understandings on secondary issues.

Senses
1. sense 1 Appearing only in Paul's discussion of spiritual maturity (Philippians 3:15), this adverb acknowledges diversity of thought within the believing community. The translations ('differently,' 'diferentemente,' 'anders') capture the straightforward meaning, while Paul's context suggests that God himself will clarify matters where believers currently see things from different angles, rather than demanding immediate uniformity.
