It conveys the idea of participation or fellowship in a particular context, often with a spiritual or communal connotation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe believers who share in the heavenly calling, partake in Christ, or are partners in the Holy Spirit.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of partnership or sharing was significant in various aspects of life, including business, religion, and social relationships. The use of "metochos" in the New Testament reflects the early Christian understanding of communal life and spiritual fellowship. Believers were seen as partakers in the divine nature and participants in the life and mission of the church.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3353</b> <i>métoxos</i> (from <a href="/greek/3348.htm">3348</a> <i>/metéxō</i>, "share in," derived from <a href="/greek/3326.htm">3326</a> <i>/metá</i>, "<i>with change after</i>ward" and <a href="/greek/2192.htm">2192</a> <i>/éxō</i>, "have") – properly, <i>change</i> due to <i>sharing</i>, i.e. from being an "active <i>partaker with</i>."</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3348.htm">metechó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sharing in<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>companions (1), partakers (4), partners (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3353: μέτοχος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μέτοχος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μέτοχον</span> (<span class="greek2">μετέχω</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">sharing in, partaking of,</span> with the genitive of the thing (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 30, 8 a.): <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/3-1.htm">Hebrews 3:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-4.htm">Hebrews 6:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-8.htm">Hebrews 12:8</a>; <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Χριστοῦ</span>, of his mind, and of the salvation procured by him, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/3-14.htm">Hebrews 3:14</a>; cf.
