Strong's Lexicon sugkakoucheomai: To suffer together, to be mistreated together Original Word: συγκακουχέομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "σύν" (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and "κακουχέομαι" (kakoucheomai, meaning "to suffer" or "to be mistreated"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for sugkakoucheomai, the concept of shared suffering can be seen in various Old Testament passages, such as the experiences of the Israelites in Egypt (Exodus 1:11-14) and the communal lamentations found in the Psalms (e.g., Psalm 44). Usage: The verb sugkakoucheomai is used to describe the act of enduring suffering or mistreatment alongside others. It conveys a sense of shared hardship and solidarity in the face of adversity. This term emphasizes the communal aspect of suffering, highlighting the bond formed through shared trials. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, suffering and persecution were common experiences for early Christians. The concept of enduring hardship together was integral to the Christian community, which often faced opposition from both Jewish and Roman authorities. The early church valued solidarity and mutual support, viewing shared suffering as a means of strengthening faith and fostering unity among believers.
