1: μακαρισμός

(Strong's #3108 — Noun Masculine — makarismos — mak-ar-is-mos' )

denotes "a declaration of blessedness, a felicitation;" it is translated "gratulation" in Galatians 4:15 , RV (AV, "blessedness"); the Galatian converts had counted themselves happy when they heard and received the Gospel from Paul; he asks them rhetorically what had become of that spirit which had animated them; the word is rendered "blessing" in Romans 4:6,9 . See BLESSING , C, No. 2.
