συμπαραγίνομαι

symparagínomai

G4836 verb

SILEX Entry

Definition

To be present together with others; to arrive together with someone, to assemble together, or to appear in the company of another person. The fundamental sense is a joint presence or arrival, either physically convening for a purpose or being present to render assistance. Contextually, it can also carry the nuance of 'appearing together in support' or 'standing alongside.'

Semantic Range

to come together, to be present together, to convene, to appear together in support or aid, to stand with, to jointly attend or accompany

Root / Etymology

Formed from the preposition σύν (with, together) and the verb παραγίνομαι (to come, to be present, to arrive), meaning 'to come together with' or 'to appear together with.' Not a compound in classical usage but formed on Koine patterns.

Historical & Contextual Notes

συμπαραγίνομαι is rare in extant Greek literature, primarily attested in the New Testament (Acts 13:13; Acts 17:6) and related early Christian contexts. Its use emphasizes joint action or shared presence, whether physically coming to a location with others or appearing together in a setting (often in support or solidarity). The connotation may include companionship, association, or reinforcing group identity, especially at public events or in moments of communal response. While English translations typically render it as 'come together' or 'stand with,' these can obscure nuances of joint arrival or active solidarity implied by the Greek. There are no clear classical uses, and the formation reflects Koine tendencies toward compounding for specificity. The term is closely related to παραγίνομαι (to arrive, present oneself), but σύν marks the joint or collective aspect. Unlike simply 'gather,' this term carries the idea of concurrent presence or support.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from σύν and παραγίνομαι; to be present together, i.e. to convene; by implication, to appear in aid:--come together, stand with.
