It conveys an intense emotional or mental pressure, akin to being held tightly or confined. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the emotional turmoil and anxiety experienced by individuals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, emotional states such as distress and anguish were often associated with external pressures, societal expectations, or personal crises. The concept of "sunoché" would have resonated with early Christian audiences who faced persecution, social ostracism, and internal struggles as they navigated their faith in a predominantly pagan society. The term captures the essence of human suffering and the internal battles faced by believers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4928</b> <i>syno<smallcaps>x</smallcaps></i> (from 4912<i>/syne<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ō</i>, see there) – properly, something held together in close ("hard") tension; (figuratively) tension from difficult circumstances that "won't move" which produces <i>distress</i> (<i>anguish</i>) – causing someone to feel "locked in" (tightly pressed; note the prefix, <i>syn</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/4912.htm">sunechó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a holding together, fig. distress<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>anguish (1), dismay (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 4928: συνοχή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συνοχή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">συνοχῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">συνέχω</span>, which see), <span class="accented">a holding together, narrowing; narrows,</span> the contracting part of a way, <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> Iliad 23, 330.
