Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Gratulation:

denotes "a declaration of blessedness, a felicitation;" it is translated "gratulation" in Gal 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 Rom 4:6, 9.
See BLESSING, C, No. 2.
