Editing Judaizers (section)

==Origin==
The meaning of the verb ''judaize'',<ref>from the [[Koine Greek]] ''Ioudaizō'' (Ιουδαϊζω); see also [http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/words.pl?word=2450 Strong's G2450]</ref> from which the noun ''Judaizer'' is derived, is derived from its various historical uses. Its biblical meaning is inferred and is not clearly defined beyond its obvious relationship to the word "[[Jews|Jew]]". The ''[[Anchor Bible Dictionary]],'' for example, says: "The clear implication is that gentiles are being compelled to live according to Jewish customs."<ref>''Anchor Bible Dictionary,'' Vol. 3. “Judaizing.”</ref>

The word ''Judaizer'' comes from ''judaize'', which is seldom used in [[English Bible translations]] (an exception is the [[Young's Literal Translation]] for [[Epistle to the Galatians|Galatians]] 2:14).<ref>{{bibleverse||Gal|2:14|YLT}}</ref>
