homós: Same, common, together

Original Word: ὁμός
Part of Speech: Conjunction
Transliteration: homós
Pronunciation: ho-MOS
Phonetic Spelling: (hom'-oce)
Definition: Same, common, together
Meaning: yet, nevertheless, even.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ὁμός, meaning "same" or "common."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often relates to words like יַחַד (yachad), meaning "together" or "united," which appears in passages emphasizing unity and collective action, such as Psalm 133:1, "How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!"

Usage: The Greek word "homós" is used to convey the idea of sameness or commonality. It often describes things that are alike or unified in nature. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize unity and togetherness among believers, reflecting the early Christian emphasis on community and shared faith.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of unity and commonality was significant in both philosophical and social contexts. Philosophers like Aristotle discussed the importance of commonality in ethics and politics. In the early Christian church, unity was a crucial theme, as believers from diverse backgrounds were called to live in harmony and share a common faith in Christ. This was particularly important in a time when the church was expanding rapidly and encountering various cultural and ethnic groups.
