Strong's Lexicon sugkoinónos: Partaker, partner, sharer, companion Original Word: συγκοινωνός Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "σύν" (syn), meaning "with" or "together," and "κοινωνός" (koinónos), meaning "partner" or "sharer." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sugkoinónos," the concept of partnership and sharing can be seen in words like "חָבֵר" (chaver), meaning "companion" or "friend," and "שָׁתַף" (shataf), meaning "to share" or "to join." Usage: The term "sugkoinónos" refers to someone who shares in or is a partner in something with others. It implies a close association or fellowship, often in the context of sharing in spiritual matters, sufferings, or blessings. The word emphasizes the communal and participatory aspect of Christian life, where believers are called to share in both the joys and challenges of their faith journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of partnership and sharing was significant in various aspects of life, including business, religion, and social relationships. The early Christian community adopted and transformed this idea to express the deep spiritual fellowship among believers. This fellowship was not merely social but was rooted in a shared faith in Christ and a common mission to spread the Gospel.
