the Greeks: In the first century C.E., the Greek word Helʹlen, used here, did not necessarily refer only to natives of Greece or to people of Greek origin. In this context, the term is used in parallel with “the nations” (1Co 1:23) and refers to “the Greeks” as representative of all non-Jewish peoples (Ro 1:16; 2:9, 10; 3:9; 10:12; 1Co 10:32; 12:13). This was no doubt due to the prominence of the Greek language and culture throughout the Roman Empire.—See study note on Ro 1:16.
