In the New Testament context, it often refers to the pressure on Gentile Christians to observe Jewish laws and customs, particularly those related to the Mosaic Law, as a requirement for salvation or full acceptance in the Christian community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the early Christian church, there was significant tension between Jewish and Gentile believers. Jewish Christians, who were accustomed to the Mosaic Law, sometimes insisted that Gentile converts adhere to Jewish customs, such as circumcision and dietary laws. This issue was a major point of contention in the early church, leading to the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15), where it was decided that Gentile Christians were not required to follow the entirety of the Mosaic Law.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2453.htm">Ioudaios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to Judaize<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>live like Jews (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>live as the Jews. <p>From <a href="/greek/2453.htm">Ioudaios</a>; to become a Judaean, i.e. "Judaize" -- live as the Jews. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2453.htm">Ioudaios</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>Ιουδαιζειν Ἰουδαΐζειν Ιουδάϊζον Ιουδαίος Ioudaizein Ioudaḯzein<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/galatians/2-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Galatians 2:14</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb - Present Infinitive Active">V-PNA</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/galatians/2.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">ἔθνη ἀναγκάζεις <b>Ἰουδαΐζειν</b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/galatians/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> the Gentiles <span class="itali">to live like Jews?</span><br><a href="/kjvs/galatians/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the Gentiles <span class="itali">to live as do the Jews?</span><br><a href="/interlinear/galatians/2-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Gentiles do you compel <span class="itali">to Judaize</span><p><b><a href="/greek/2450.htm">Strong's Greek 2450</a><br><a href="/greek/strongs_2450.htm">1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/greek/ioudaizein_2450.htm">Ἰουδαΐζειν — 1 Occ.</a><br><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/2449.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2449"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2449" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/2451.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2451"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2451" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
