Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and ἔργον (ergon, meaning "work" or "labor").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "συνεργός," the concept of working together or partnership can be seen in various Old Testament passages that emphasize collaboration and unity among God's people. Examples include the Hebrew words עֲבוֹדָה (avodah, meaning "service" or "work") and חָבַר (chabar, meaning "to join" or "to unite"). These terms reflect similar themes of cooperation and collective effort in fulfilling God's purposes.

Usage: The term "συνεργός" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who collaborate or labor alongside others in the work of the Gospel or in ministry. It emphasizes partnership and cooperation in a shared mission or task.

Context: The Greek term "συνεργός" appears in several New Testament passages, highlighting the collaborative nature of early Christian ministry. It is often used by the Apostle Paul to refer to his co-laborers in the spread of the Gospel. This term underscores the importance of partnership in the Christian faith, where believers are called to work together for the advancement of God's kingdom.

In Romans 16:3, Paul refers to Priscilla and Aquila as "my fellow workers in Christ Jesus," acknowledging their significant role in his ministry. Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 3:9, Paul writes, "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building," illustrating the cooperative effort between God and His servants in building the church.

The concept of "συνεργός" extends beyond mere assistance; it involves a shared commitment and purpose. In Philippians 2:25, Epaphroditus is described as "my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier," indicating a deep bond and shared struggle in the work of the Gospel.

The use of "συνεργός" in the New Testament reflects the early church's understanding of ministry as a collective endeavor, where each member contributes to the mission of spreading the Gospel and edifying the body of Christ. This term serves as a reminder of the value of unity and cooperation among believers.
