Strong's Lexicon sunapollumi: To perish together, to be destroyed together Original Word: συναπόλλυμι Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and ἀπόλλυμι (apollumi, meaning "to destroy" or "to perish"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of destruction or perishing is אָבַד (abad, Strong's H6), which carries similar connotations of being lost or destroyed. Usage: The verb συναπόλλυμι (sunapollumi) conveys the idea of perishing or being destroyed in conjunction with others. It implies a collective or shared experience of destruction or loss. This term is used to describe situations where individuals or groups face a common fate of ruin or demise. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of collective destruction was not uncommon, especially in the context of warfare, natural disasters, or divine judgment. The idea of shared fate was often seen in the context of communities or groups facing a common threat or punishment. In the biblical context, this term can reflect the communal aspect of judgment or the consequences of sin affecting a group rather than just an individual.
