Berean Strong's Lexicon sustratiótés: Fellow soldier Original Word: συστρατιώτης Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "σύν" (syn), meaning "with" or "together," and "στρατιώτης" (stratiotes), meaning "soldier." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sustratiótés," the concept of a soldier or warrior can be found in Hebrew terms like "חַיָּל" (chayal), meaning "soldier" or "warrior," as seen in passages like 1 Samuel 14:52. Usage: The term "sustratiótés" is used in the New Testament to describe a fellow soldier, particularly in a spiritual or metaphorical sense. It emphasizes camaraderie and shared purpose among believers, likening their spiritual journey and struggles to that of soldiers in battle. This term underscores the idea of unity and cooperation in the Christian faith, as believers are called to stand together against spiritual adversities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, soldiers were highly regarded for their discipline, loyalty, and bravery. The military metaphor was a powerful image for early Christians, who often faced persecution and needed to remain steadfast in their faith. The concept of being a "fellow soldier" would resonate with the early church, highlighting the need for mutual support and collective effort in advancing the Gospel and enduring trials.
