Strong's Lexicon sugkakopatheó: To suffer together, to endure hardship with Original Word: συγκακοπαθέω Word Origin: From the combination of σύν (syn, meaning "with") and κακοπαθέω (kakopatheó, meaning "to suffer hardship"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγκακοπαθέω, the concept of shared suffering and endurance can be seen in Hebrew terms like סָבַל (sabal, meaning "to bear" or "to endure") and עָנָה (anah, meaning "to be afflicted" or "to humble oneself"). Usage: The verb συγκακοπαθέω is used to describe the act of enduring suffering or hardship alongside others. It conveys a sense of shared experience in adversity, emphasizing solidarity and mutual support among believers. This term is often associated with the Christian call to bear one another's burdens and to partake in the sufferings of Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the early Christian context, suffering was a common experience due to persecution and societal opposition. The early church was often marginalized and faced various trials. The concept of suffering together was integral to the Christian community, as it fostered unity and strength. The idea of shared suffering also reflects the Greco-Roman virtue of enduring hardship with courage and resilience.
