 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.
