(gree' shuhn) Proper adjective referring to things or to people with origins in Greece. In the New Testament this refers to Jews who had adopted the Greek culture and language. They formed a significant part of the early church and created problems because of prejudice within the church (Acts 6:1; Acts 9:29 ).
