Original Word: συναποθνῄσκω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: sunapothnéskó
Pronunciation: soon-ap-oth-nace'-ko
Phonetic Spelling: (soon-ap-oth-nace'-ko)
Definition: To die together with
Meaning: I die together with.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix σύν (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and ἀποθνῄσκω (apothnéskó, meaning "to die").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συναποθνῄσκω, the concept of shared suffering and death can be related to Hebrew terms like מוּת (muth, Strong's H4191), meaning "to die," which is used in contexts of covenantal loyalty and communal identity.

Usage: The verb συναποθνῄσκω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of dying together with someone else. It conveys a sense of shared experience in death, often in the context of suffering or martyrdom. This term emphasizes the unity and solidarity in the experience of death, particularly in the context of Christian faith and witness.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of dying together could be associated with loyalty and solidarity, whether in battle, family, or philosophical schools. For early Christians, dying together with Christ or fellow believers was seen as a profound expression of faith and commitment. This was especially relevant during times of persecution, where martyrdom was a real possibility for many believers. The idea of sharing in Christ's sufferings and death was a central theme in early Christian theology, reflecting the belief in resurrection and eternal life.
