Strong's Lexicon sumpaschó: To suffer with, to share in suffering Original Word: συμπάσχω Word Origin: From the combination of σύν (syn, "with") and πάσχω (paschó, "to suffer") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sumpaschó," the concept of shared suffering can be related to Hebrew words like עָנָה (anah, "to be afflicted") and סָבַל (sabal, "to bear a burden"). Usage: The verb "sumpaschó" conveys the idea of experiencing suffering or hardship in conjunction with another person. It implies a shared experience of pain or adversity, often in a communal or empathetic context. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the shared suffering of believers with Christ, emphasizing the intimate connection between the believer's trials and the sufferings of Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, suffering was often seen as a part of the human condition, with philosophical schools like the Stoics teaching the endurance of pain as a virtue. In the Jewish context, suffering was sometimes viewed as a consequence of sin or a test of faith. The early Christian community, however, reinterpreted suffering through the lens of Christ's passion, seeing it as a means of participating in His redemptive work and a path to spiritual maturity.
