Strong's Lexicon homothumadon: With one accord, with one mind, unanimously Original Word: ὁμοθυμαδόν Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words ὁμός (homos), meaning "same," and θυμός (thumos), meaning "mind" or "passion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "homothumadon," the concept of unity and being of one mind is echoed in Hebrew terms like יַחַד (yachad, Strong's H3162), meaning "together" or "united." Usage: The term "homothumadon" is used to describe a group of people acting with a unified purpose or in complete harmony. It conveys the idea of being of one mind or spirit, often in the context of prayer, worship, or decision-making. This unity is not merely external agreement but a deep, internal harmony of purpose and intent. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, unity and harmony were highly valued, especially in civic and social contexts. The early Christian community, emerging in this cultural milieu, emphasized spiritual unity as a reflection of their shared faith in Christ. This unity was seen as a powerful testimony to the transformative work of the Holy Spirit among believers, distinguishing them from the surrounding society. HELPS Word-studies 3661 homothymadón (from homo, "same" and 2372 /thymós, "passion") – properly, with the same passion, in "one accord" (having the same desire). 3661 /homothymadón ("of the same passion") describes people who share "like precious faith," creating a God-produced unity between them (cf. 2 Pet 1:1,2). Here they "have the same mind" (the Lord's thoughts) because each receives the same revelation of His Word. See this powerful application of 3661 (homothymadón) in Ac 1:14, 2:1,46, 4:24, 5:12, 8:6. [There is also the evil manifestation of people having "one passion" – see Ac 7:57, 18:12, 19:29. 3661 (homothymadón) is also used in Homer, "Wolves and lambs do not have hearts to agree with each other" (Il. 22.263, ala Abbott-Smith).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as homou and thumos Definition with one mind NASB Translation one accord (7), one impulse (1), one mind (3).
