Strong's Lexicon
sugchraomai: To associate with, to have dealings with, to mix with.

Original Word: συγχράομαι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: sugchraomai
Pronunciation: soong-khrah'-om-ahee
Phonetic Spelling: (soong-khrah'-om-ahee)
Definition: To associate with, to have dealings with, to mix with.
Meaning: I have dealings with.

Word Origin: From the preposition σύν (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and the verb χράομαι (chraomai, meaning "to use" or "to deal with").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγχράομαι, the concept of association and separation can be seen in Hebrew words like חָבַר (chabar, Strong's H2266), meaning "to join" or "to associate."

Usage: The verb συγχράομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of associating or having dealings with others, often in a social or communal context. It implies a level of interaction or fellowship that goes beyond mere acquaintance, suggesting a sharing or participation in common activities or relationships.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social interactions were often governed by strict cultural and religious norms. Jews, in particular, maintained distinct boundaries to avoid ritual impurity and to uphold their identity as God's chosen people. This often meant limiting interactions with Gentiles or those considered unclean. The use of συγχράομαι in the New Testament reflects the tension between these cultural norms and the inclusive message of the Gospel, which called for breaking down barriers between Jews and Gentiles.
