Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with, together") and κοινωνέω (koinōnéō, "to share, to participate")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγκοινωνέω, the concept of sharing and fellowship can be related to Hebrew terms such as חָבַר (chabar, Strong's 2266), meaning "to join, to unite," and שָׁתַף (shataph, Strong's 8367), meaning "to share, to participate." These terms similarly convey the idea of partnership and communal involvement.

Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of sharing or participating in something with others, often in the context of fellowship, partnership, or sharing in spiritual or material matters.

Context: The term συγκοινωνέω is a compound verb that emphasizes the concept of joint participation or partnership. It is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of sharing in both spiritual and material aspects. This sharing is not merely a passive association but an active participation and fellowship with others.

In Romans 15:27, Paul uses συγκοινωνέω to describe the Gentile believers' obligation to share their material blessings with the Jewish believers in Jerusalem: "They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings."

In Philippians 4:14, Paul commends the Philippians for their partnership in his afflictions: "Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction."

The concept of συγκοινωνέω extends beyond mere physical sharing to include spiritual fellowship and mutual support within the body of Christ. It underscores the interconnectedness of believers and the importance of supporting one another in both spiritual and practical ways.
