Strong's Lexicon sunaichmalótos: Fellow prisoner Original Word: συναιχμάλωτος Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with") and αἰχμάλωτος (aichmalōtos, "captive" or "prisoner") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunaichmalótos," the concept of shared captivity or imprisonment can be related to terms like "שְׁבִי" (shevi, "captivity") or "אָסִיר" (asir, "prisoner"). Usage: The term "sunaichmalótos" refers to someone who is a fellow prisoner or captive, sharing in the same imprisonment or captivity as another. In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who were imprisoned for their faith in Christ, often alongside the Apostle Paul. This term emphasizes the shared experience and solidarity among believers who suffer for the gospel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Roman world, imprisonment was a common consequence for those who were seen as threats to the state or who violated Roman laws. Christians, including Paul and his companions, were often imprisoned for their faith and missionary activities. Being a "fellow prisoner" not only indicated shared physical confinement but also a deep spiritual camaraderie and commitment to the cause of Christ. This shared suffering was seen as a badge of honor and a testament to one's faithfulness.
