Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root words σύν (syn, 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 συνελικιώτης, the concept of fellowship and community is prevalent in the Old Testament. Terms such as חָבֵר (chaver, meaning "companion" or "friend") and קָהָל (qahal, meaning "assembly" or "congregation") capture similar ideas of communal association and fellowship among the people of God. These terms emphasize the importance of collective identity and shared purpose within the covenant community of Israel. Usage: The term συνελικιώτης is not directly found in the canonical texts of the New Testament. It is a compound word that suggests a close association or fellowship, often used in extra-biblical Greek literature to denote someone who is part of a collective or community. Context: The term συνελικιώτης, while not appearing in the New Testament, reflects the early Christian emphasis on community and fellowship. The concept of being a "fellow member" or "companion" aligns with the New Testament teachings on the body of Christ and the unity of believers. In passages such as Acts 2:42, the early church is described as devoted to fellowship, indicating the importance of communal relationships. The idea of συνελικιώτης can be seen in the broader context of New Testament teachings on unity, such as in Ephesians 4:3, where believers are encouraged to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. This term underscores the biblical principle that Christians are called to live in harmony and mutual support, reflecting the communal nature of the early church.
