Original Word: συγκοινωνέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: sugkoinóneó Pronunciation: soong-koy-no-NEH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (soong-koy-no-neh'-o) Definition: To share in, to participate with, to have fellowship with. Meaning: I am a partaker with, have fellowship with, am an accomplice in. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and κοινωνέω (koinoneo, meaning "to share" or "to participate"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "sugkoinóneó," the concept of fellowship and sharing is present in the Hebrew Scriptures, often expressed through terms like חֶבֶר (chever, meaning "association" or "company") and יָד (yad, meaning "hand," used metaphorically for partnership or support). Usage: The verb "sugkoinóneó" conveys the idea of sharing in or participating with others in a common experience or activity. It often implies a deep level of fellowship or partnership, particularly in spiritual or moral contexts. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of sharing in both positive and negative experiences, such as sharing in the sufferings of Christ or participating in sinful activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fellowship and sharing was integral to community life. The early Christian communities emphasized koinonia (fellowship) as a reflection of their unity in Christ. This sharing went beyond mere social interaction to include spiritual and material support, reflecting the communal nature of the early Church. The term "sugkoinóneó" would have resonated with early Christians as a call to live out their faith in tangible ways, both in supporting one another and in avoiding participation in pagan practices.
