Gentile is the English rendering of a Greek word meaning "nation" or "people," used throughout the New Testament for anyone who is not Jewish. Paul's letters make the status of Gentiles central to his gospel, arguing that through Christ they are grafted into God's covenant people alongside Jews without first needing to become Jews themselves, a position defended at the Jerusalem council in Acts 15.
