barbarian
a greek word used in the new testament rom. 1:14 to denote one
of another nation. in col. 3:11, the word more definitely
designates those nations of the roman empire that did not speak
greek. in 1 cor. 14:11, it simply refers to one speaking a
different language. the inhabitants of malta are so called acts
28:1,2, 4. they were originally a carthaginian colony. this
word nowhere in scripture bears the meaning it does in modern
times.
