It is used to describe a state where different elements or individuals are in accord, producing a unified or harmonious outcome. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the agreement between individuals or within a community, particularly in matters of faith and practice.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, harmony and agreement were highly valued in both philosophical and practical contexts. The concept of "sumphónos" would have resonated with early Christian communities as they sought to live in unity amidst diverse backgrounds and beliefs. The term also reflects the musical metaphor of different notes coming together to create a pleasing sound, which would have been a familiar concept in a culture that appreciated music and the arts.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4859</b> <i>sýmphōnos</i> (from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">4862</a> <i>/sýn</i>, "closely identify <i>with</i>" and <a href="/greek/5456.htm">5456</a> <i>/phōnḗ</i>, "voice," which is the root of the English term, "<i>symphony</i>") – properly, be of <i>one voice</i> (voice the same opinion); <i>bilateral agreement</i> between marriage-partners to temporarily abstain from sexual relations (used only in 1 Cor 7:5). </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/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/5456.htm">phóné</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>calling out together, i.e. agreeing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>agreement (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 4859: σύμφωνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σύμφωνος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σύμφωνον</span> (<span class="greek2">σύν</span> and <span class="greek2">φωνή</span>), from (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> h.
