Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "Galatés," as it is specific to the Greek context of the New Testament. However, the concept of ethnic groups and regions is present throughout the Old Testament, such as in references to the nations surrounding Israel.

Usage: The term "Galatés" refers to an individual from Galatia, a region in central Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). In the New Testament, it is used to describe the people to whom the Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle to the Galatians. The term highlights the ethnic and cultural identity of the recipients of Paul's letter.

Cultural and Historical Background: Galatia was a region inhabited by Celtic tribes who had migrated from Europe. By the time of the New Testament, it was a Roman province with a diverse population, including Greeks, Romans, and native Galatians. The Galatians were known for their distinct cultural practices and were influenced by both Hellenistic and Roman cultures. The Apostle Paul visited Galatia during his missionary journeys and established churches there. The Epistle to the Galatians addresses issues such as the Judaizers' influence, who insisted that Gentile Christians must adhere to Jewish law, and emphasizes justification by faith.
