Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ὁμός, meaning "same" or "common."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὁμός, the concept of unity and sameness can be found in Hebrew terms such as יַחַד (yachad, Strong's 3162), which means "together" or "united," and אֶחָד (echad, Strong's 259), meaning "one" or "unity." These terms similarly emphasize the importance of unity and collective identity within the community of God's people.

Usage: In the New Testament, ὁμός is used to express unity or sameness among individuals or groups, often in the context of shared purpose or action.

Context: The Greek word ὁμός appears in the New Testament to emphasize unity and commonality among believers or within a group. It is often used in contexts where the early Christian community is encouraged to act with one mind and purpose, reflecting the unity that is found in Christ. This term underscores the importance of harmony and collective action in the life of the church.

For example, in Philippians 2:2, the Apostle Paul exhorts the believers to be "like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." Here, the concept of ὁμός is central to the call for unity and mutual love among the members of the body of Christ. The use of ὁμός in such contexts highlights the theological emphasis on the church as a unified body, working together for the common good and the advancement of the Gospel.

The term also appears in contexts where believers are encouraged to share in the sufferings and joys of one another, reflecting the interconnectedness of the Christian community. This shared experience is a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel, which brings diverse individuals into a harmonious relationship with one another through their common faith in Jesus Christ.
