Strong's Lexicon sunupokrinomai: To join in hypocrisy, to act hypocritically together Original Word: συνυποκρίνομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "σύν" (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and "ὑποκρίνομαι" (hupokrinomai, meaning "to pretend" or "to act hypocritically"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunupokrinomai," the concept of hypocrisy is addressed in the Hebrew Scriptures. For example, the Hebrew word "חָנֵף" (chaneph, Strong's H2611) can mean "to be profane" or "to act hypocritically." Usage: The verb "sunupokrinomai" refers to the act of joining others in hypocrisy, or collectively pretending to be something one is not. It implies a shared or communal aspect of hypocrisy, where individuals are complicit in deceitful behavior, often to maintain appearances or to align with a group. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of hypocrisy was often associated with actors in a theater who wore masks to portray different characters. This metaphor was extended to describe individuals who presented a false front in social or religious contexts. In the early Christian community, authenticity and sincerity were highly valued, and hypocrisy was seen as a serious moral failing that could undermine the integrity of the church.
