Strong's Lexicon sunarmologeó: To fit together, to join closely, to unite Original Word: συναρμολογέω Word Origin: From σύν (sun, "together with") and ἁρμολογέω (harmologeo, "to fit or join together") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunarmologeó," the concept of unity and being joined together can be seen in Hebrew words like חָבַר (chabar, Strong's H2266), meaning "to join" or "to unite." Usage: The verb "sunarmologeó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of joining or fitting together parts into a cohesive whole. It conveys the idea of a harmonious and purposeful assembly, often used metaphorically to describe the unity and interdependence of the body of Christ, the Church. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fitting together was often associated with construction and architecture, where stones or other materials were carefully joined to create a stable and enduring structure. This imagery would have been familiar to early Christians, who lived in a society where monumental buildings and temples were common. The metaphor of the Church as a building or body, with each member playing a crucial role, would resonate with believers who understood the importance of unity and cooperation. HELPS Word-studies 4883 synarmologéō (from 4862 /sýn, "joined closely with"; harmós, "a joint"; and 719 /harmós, "reason") – properly, interconnected (joined); fit together to efficiently and effectively function. 4883 /synarmologéō ("hinged together") occurs twice in the NT (Eph 2:21, 4:16) – both times of God "fitly framing believers (OT, NT) into a harmonious, synergistic whole." That is, each individual being functioning as a part of the one people of God (His 2992 /laós, Heb ʽam).
