Strong's Lexicon summetochos: Partaker, sharer, participant Original Word: συμμέτοχος Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and μέτοχος (metochos, meaning "partaker" or "sharer"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "summetochos," the concept of sharing or partaking can be related to Hebrew terms like חָבֵר (chaver, meaning "companion" or "associate") and שָׁתַף (shataf, meaning "to share" or "to join"). Usage: The term "summetochos" is used to describe someone who shares in or partakes of something with others. It conveys a sense of joint participation or partnership, often in a spiritual or communal context. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the shared experiences and responsibilities among believers, particularly in relation to the blessings and sufferings of the Christian faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of sharing or participating in something was significant in both religious and social contexts. Participation in religious rites, communal meals, and civic duties were common aspects of life. The early Christian community adopted and transformed these ideas, emphasizing spiritual fellowship and unity in Christ. The use of "summetochos" reflects the early church's understanding of believers as co-participants in the life and mission of Jesus Christ.
