Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with") and σταυρόω (stauroō, "to crucify")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συσταυρόω, as the concept of crucifixion is specific to the New Testament context. However, related themes of sacrifice and atonement can be found in Hebrew terms such as זָבַח (zabach, "to sacrifice") and כָּפַר (kaphar, "to cover, atone"). These terms reflect the Old Testament sacrificial system, which foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, with whom believers are spiritually crucified.

Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being crucified alongside someone else, particularly in a spiritual or metaphorical sense, indicating a shared experience or union in the crucifixion.

Context: The term συσταυρόω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize a profound spiritual union with Christ in His crucifixion. It is used to convey the idea that believers, through faith, participate in the death of Christ, symbolizing the death of their old sinful nature and the beginning of a new life in Him.

• Romans 6:6 (BSB): "We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin." Here, συσταυρόω is used to illustrate the believer's identification with Christ's death, leading to liberation from the power of sin.

• Galatians 2:20 (BSB): "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." This passage highlights the transformative aspect of being crucified with Christ, where the believer's life is now characterized by Christ living within them.

• Colossians 2:20 (BSB): While not using the exact term συσταυρόω, the concept is echoed in the broader context of being united with Christ in His death and resurrection, leading to a new way of life.

Theologically, συσταυρόω underscores the believer's intimate connection with Christ's redemptive work. It signifies not only a shared suffering but also a shared victory over sin and death, resulting in a new identity and purpose in Christ.
