Scythian
The Scythians were nomadic peoples from regions north of the Black and Caspian Seas and farther into Asia. In the New Testament the name could also represent people regarded by Greeks and Romans as uncivilized, yet all such distinctions were secondary to faith in Christ.
Biblical Usage
The Scythians are mentioned in the New Testament as an example of a social and cultural distinction that does not determine a person’s standing in Christ. The supplied material also associates them with descendants of Japheth.
