Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὁμιλέω (homileō), meaning "to associate with" or "to converse."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὁμιλία, the concept of fellowship and communal gathering can be related to Hebrew terms such as קָהָל (qahal, Strong's 6951), which means assembly or congregation, and חֶבֶר (cheber, Strong's 2266), meaning company or association. These terms similarly emphasize the communal and relational aspects of gathering for worship and mutual edification.

Usage: In the New Testament, ὁμιλία is used to describe the act of conversing or engaging in fellowship. It emphasizes the relational aspect of communication and interaction among individuals.

Context: The Greek term ὁμιλία appears in the New Testament context to highlight the importance of fellowship and communication among believers. It is often associated with the idea of gathering together for mutual edification and encouragement. The concept of ὁμιλία underscores the communal aspect of the early Christian church, where believers would come together to share in teaching, prayer, and the breaking of bread.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὁμιλία is reflected in passages that emphasize the value of community and the sharing of spiritual insights. For instance, the early church is depicted as a body of believers who devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship (Acts 2:42). This fellowship, or ὁμιλία, was integral to the growth and unity of the early Christian community.

The use of ὁμιλία in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining strong, communicative relationships within the body of Christ. It encourages believers to engage in meaningful conversations that build up the faith and foster a sense of belonging and support.
