Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Latin "Galata," referring to a person from Gaul or Galatia.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for "Γαλάτης" as it specifically refers to a group of people in a Greco-Roman context. However, the concept of foreign nations or peoples can be found in various Hebrew terms such as גּוֹי (goy, Strong's Hebrew 1471), which means "nation" or "people," often used to refer to non-Israelite nations.

Usage: The term "Γαλάτης" is used in the New Testament to refer to the people of Galatia, a region visited by the Apostle Paul during his missionary journeys. It is specifically mentioned in the context of the Epistle to the Galatians.

Context: The term "Γαλάτης" appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians. Galatia was a region in central Asia Minor, inhabited by a Celtic people who had settled there in the 3rd century BC. The Galatians were known for their distinct cultural identity, which included elements of both Celtic and Hellenistic influences.

In the New Testament, the Galatians are addressed directly in the Epistle to the Galatians, where Paul writes to the churches in this region. The letter addresses issues of faith, law, and Christian freedom, emphasizing the importance of faith in Jesus Christ over adherence to the Jewish law. Paul expresses concern over the Galatians' quick departure from the gospel he preached to them, as they were being influenced by Judaizers who insisted on the necessity of following Jewish customs.

The Galatians are depicted as having initially received Paul warmly, but their subsequent wavering in faith prompts Paul's passionate defense of the gospel of grace. The epistle serves as a critical theological document, underscoring the doctrine of justification by faith and the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers.
