Strong's Lexicon koinónos: Partner, sharer, companion, participant Original Word: κοινωνός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word κοινός (koinos), meaning "common" or "shared." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the concept of partnership and sharing can be related to the Hebrew word חָבֵר (chaver), meaning "companion" or "associate." Usage: The term "koinónos" refers to someone who shares in or participates in something with others. It implies a partnership or fellowship, often in a spiritual or communal context. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who share in the sufferings of Christ, the spreading of the Gospel, or the blessings of the Christian community. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of partnership and sharing was significant in both social and economic contexts. The early Christian community adopted this idea to emphasize the unity and mutual support among believers. The term "koinónos" reflects the communal nature of the early Church, where resources, responsibilities, and spiritual experiences were shared among members.
