It implies a shared consent or pleasure in a particular action or decision. In the New Testament, it often reflects a moral or ethical agreement, sometimes in a negative context where individuals collectively approve of actions contrary to God's will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, communal decision-making and shared values were significant aspects of society. The concept of "suneudokeó" would resonate with the cultural emphasis on collective identity and mutual consent. In the early Christian communities, this term would highlight the importance of unity in thought and action, whether for good or ill.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4909</b> <i>syneudokéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">4862</a> <i>/sýn</i>, "identity <i>with</i>" and <a href="/greek/2106.htm">2106</a> <i>/eudokéō</i>, "seems good") – properly, to <i>consent</i> in a "<i>hearty</i>" (<i>personal</i>)<i> way</i>, in keeping with the <i>close identification</i> involved (note the <i>syn</i>); <i>enthusiastically agree</i> to cooperate with a partner to reach<i> solutions</i>, i.e. to achieve the things both have committed <i>to do together</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/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/2106.htm">eudokeó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to join in approving<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>approve (1), approving (1), consents (2), give hearty approval (1), hearty 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 4909: συνευδοκέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συνευδοκέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">συνευδόκω</span>; (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">εὐδοκέω</span></span>, at the beginning); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to be pleased together with, to approve together</span> (with others): absolutely (yet so that the thing giving pleasure is evident from the context), <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-20.htm">Acts 22:20</a> <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>; with a dative of the thing, <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-48.htm">Luke 11:48</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-1.htm">Acts 8:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-20.htm">Acts 22:20</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> ((<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 24, 4, 13); 1 Macc. 1:57; 2 Macc. 11:24). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to be pleased at the same time with, consent, agree to</span> ((<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 32, 22, 9); 2 Macc. 11:35); followed by an infinitive <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-12.htm">1 Corinthians 7:12</a>f.
