Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "σύν" (syn), meaning "with" or "together," and the verb "δέω" (deo), meaning "to bind" or "to tie."

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of binding or joining together, often used in contexts of alliances, covenants, or conspiracies, reflecting the strong and sometimes formal nature of the bond.

Usage: The term συνεδόμαι is used in contexts where individuals or elements are closely united or bound together, often implying a strong or inseparable connection.

Context: The Greek term συνεδόμαι appears in the New Testament to describe a profound unity or binding together of individuals or elements. This term emphasizes the strength and permanence of the bond, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual or relational unity. In the context of the early Christian community, συνεδόμαι reflects the deep fellowship and interconnectedness among believers, as they are united in faith and purpose.

The concept of being "bound together" is significant in understanding the communal and covenantal aspects of the Christian faith. It underscores the idea that believers are not isolated individuals but are integrally connected to one another through their shared faith in Christ. This unity is not merely organizational but is deeply spiritual, reflecting the unity of the body of Christ.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the binding nature of relationships within the church, as well as the commitment and loyalty expected among believers. This unity is both a gift and a responsibility, calling Christians to live in harmony and mutual support.
