Berean Strong's Lexicon sunélikiótés: Companion, peer, contemporary Original Word: συνελικιώτης Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root words σύν (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and ἑλίσσω (helissō, meaning "to roll" or "to coil"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunélikiótés," the concept of companionship and peer relationships can be seen in words like רֵעַ (rea, Strong's H7453), meaning "friend" or "companion." Usage: The term "sunélikiótés" refers to someone who is of the same age or a contemporary. It implies a sense of companionship or shared experience due to being of the same generation or age group. In the context of the New Testament, it can denote a peer or someone who shares a similar stage in life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek society, age groups often shared common experiences and responsibilities, forming bonds that were significant in both social and military contexts. Companions of the same age would often undergo similar rites of passage and participate in communal activities, which fostered a strong sense of identity and solidarity. This concept of shared experience and companionship is reflected in the use of "sunélikiótés."
