STRONGS NT 4783: συγκατάθεσις

συγκατάθεσις (T WH συνκαταθεσις (cf. σύν, II. at the end)), συγκαταθεσεως, ἡ (συγκατατίθημι, which see), properly, a putting together or joint deposit (of votes); hence, approval, assent, agreement, (Cicero, acad. 2, 12, 37 adsensio atque adprobatio): 2 Corinthians 6:16. (Polybius, Dionysius Halicarnassus, Plutarch, others.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "σύν" (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and the verb "κατατίθημι" (katatithēmi, meaning "to put down" or "to deposit"). The combination suggests a sense of agreement or consent.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγκατάθεσις, the concept of agreement or consent can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָחַד (yachad, Strong's 3162), meaning "together" or "united," and רָצוֹן (ratson, Strong's 7522), meaning "will" or "favor," which convey similar ideas of unity and shared purpose.

Usage: The word συγκατάθεσις is not directly found in the canonical texts of the New Testament. However, its conceptual usage can be inferred in contexts where agreement or consent is discussed, particularly in the context of communal decisions or shared beliefs.

Context: • Conceptual Understanding: In the biblical context, the idea of συγκατάθεσις can be related to the unity and agreement among believers, as seen in the early church's decisions and communal life. The New Testament emphasizes the importance of unity and collective agreement in the body of Christ, as seen in passages discussing the early church's decision-making processes and the importance of being of one mind and spirit.
• Theological Implications: The concept of agreement or consent is significant in understanding the nature of the church as a community of believers who are called to live in harmony and mutual understanding. This is reflected in passages that encourage believers to be united in thought and purpose, such as Philippians 2:2, "then make my joy complete by being of one mind, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose."
• Practical Application: In practical terms, συγκατάθεσις can be seen in the way the early church made decisions collectively, as in Acts 15, where the apostles and elders came together to resolve doctrinal issues. This reflects the importance of seeking consensus and mutual agreement in church governance and community life.
