It implies a close association or participation in an experience, condition, or relationship. This term often denotes a spiritual or communal sharing, such as partaking in the benefits of Christ's sacrifice or sharing in the sufferings of others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of sharing or partaking was significant in both religious and social contexts. Participation in communal meals, religious rites, and civic duties was a vital part of community life. In the early Christian context, "metechó" would have resonated with the communal aspects of the faith, such as the Lord's Supper and the sharing of resources among believers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3326.htm">meta</a> and <a href="/greek/2192.htm">echó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to partake of, share in<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>belongs (1), partake (3), partakes (1), partook (1), share (1), sharing (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 3348: μετέχω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μετέχω</span></span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">μετεσχον</span>; perfect <span class="greek2">μετέσχηκα</span>; <span class="accented">to be or become partaker; to partake</span>: <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">ἐλπίδος</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτοῦ</span>, of the thing hoped for, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/9-10.htm">1 Corinthians 9:10</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> but <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> have rightly restored <span class="greek2">ἐπ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἐλπίδι</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">μετέχειν</span>, in hope of partaking (of the harvest); with a genitive of the thing added, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/9-12.htm">1 Corinthians 9:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/10-21.htm">1 Corinthians 10:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/2-14.htm">Hebrews 2:14</a>; <span class="greek2">φυλῆς</span> <span class="greek2">ἑτέρας</span>, to belong to another tribe, be of another tribe, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-13.htm">Hebrews 7:13</a>; namely, <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">τροφῆς</span>, to partake of, eat, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/10-30.htm">1 Corinthians 10:30</a>; <span class="greek2">γάλακτος</span>, to partake of, feed on, milk, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/5-13.htm">Hebrews 5:13</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ἑνός</span> <span class="greek2">ἄρτου</span> namely, <span class="greek2">τί</span> or <span class="greek2">τίνος</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐκ</span></span>, I. 2 b.), <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/10-17.htm">1 Corinthians 10:17</a>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 132, 8; (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 28, 1; 30, 8 a.).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>partake, take part, use. <p>From <a href="/greek/3326.htm">meta</a> and <a href="/greek/2192.htm">echo</a>; to share or participate; by implication, belong to, eat (or drink) -- be partaker, pertain, take part, use. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/3326.htm">meta</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2192.htm">echo</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>μετασχείν μετασχέτω μετέσχε μετεσχεν μετέσχεν μετεσχηκεν μετέσχηκεν μετεχειν μετέχειν μετεχομεν μετέχομεν μετέχοντες μετεχουσιν μετέχουσιν μετεχω μετέχω μετεχων μετέχων metechein metéchein metecho metechō metécho metéchō metechomen metéchomen metechon metechōn metéchon metéchōn metechousin metéchousin metescheken meteschēken metéscheken metéschēken meteschen metéschen<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_corinthians/9-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Corinthians 9:10</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
