Strong's Lexicon sugkléronomos: Co-heir, joint-heir Original Word: συγκληρονόμος Word Origin: From σύν (G4862, "with, together") and κληρονόμος (G2818, "heir") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sugkléronomos," the concept of inheritance is prevalent in the Old Testament, often associated with the Hebrew word נַחֲלָה (nachalah, H5159), meaning "inheritance" or "possession." Usage: The term "sugkléronomos" refers to someone who shares in the inheritance with others. In the New Testament, it is used to describe believers who are co-heirs with Christ, sharing in the spiritual inheritance promised by God. This concept emphasizes the unity and shared destiny of believers in Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, inheritance was a significant aspect of family life, often determining one's social and economic status. Being an heir meant receiving a portion of the family estate, and being a co-heir implied sharing this inheritance with siblings or other family members. The New Testament writers used this familiar concept to illustrate the spiritual inheritance believers receive through their relationship with Christ, highlighting the communal and familial aspects of the Christian faith.
