Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "syneklektos," the concept of being chosen or elect is prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew word "בָּחַר" (bachar, Strong's H977) is often used to describe God's selection of individuals or groups, such as Israel as His chosen people. This concept is foundational to understanding the continuity of God's elect throughout both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The word "syneklektos" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals or groups who are collectively chosen or elect, often in reference to the community of believers or the church.

Context: • The term "syneklektos" appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the unity and shared identity of believers as part of God's chosen people. It underscores the communal aspect of being part of the elect, highlighting the collective nature of salvation and divine selection.
• In 1 Peter 5:13, the apostle Peter uses "syneklektos" to refer to the church in Babylon, indicating their shared status as chosen by God: "She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark" (BSB). This usage reflects the early Christian understanding of the church as a community of believers who are united in their election by God.
• The concept of being "chosen together" is foundational to the New Testament's portrayal of the church. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of believers, who are not only individually chosen by God but also collectively form the body of Christ. This collective election is a source of encouragement and solidarity among Christians, as it affirms their shared identity and purpose in God's redemptive plan.
