These Hebrew terms reflect similar ideas of setting forth, establishing, or demonstrating something clearly. Usage: This verb is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often to describe the act of commending or demonstrating something, as well as the idea of holding together or establishing. Context: The Greek verb συνίστημι (synístēmi) appears in several New Testament passages, each illustrating a different nuance of its meaning. In Romans 5:8, it is used to convey the idea of God demonstrating His love: "But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Here, the verb underscores the action of making something evident or clear. Englishman's Concordance Luke 9:32 V-RPA-AMPGRK: ἄνδρας τοὺς συνεστῶτας αὐτῷ NAS: and the two men standing with Him.
