It conveys the idea of being in full accord or having a shared purpose and mindset. In the New Testament, it is often used to encourage believers to maintain unity and harmony within the body of Christ, reflecting a collective commitment to the teachings and mission of Jesus.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of unity and harmony was highly valued, especially within philosophical schools and civic life. The early Christian communities, often facing external pressures and internal challenges, were encouraged to embody this unity as a testimony to their faith and as a means of strengthening their witness in a diverse and often hostile environment. The idea of being "sumpsuchos" would have resonated with the early Christians as a call to live out their faith in a cohesive and supportive community.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4861</b> <i>sýmpsy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>os</i> (from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">4862</a> <i>/sýn</i>, "closely identified with" and 5590<i>/psy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ē</i>, "soul") – properly, <i>closely united in soul</i>, i.e. people sharing the <i>same identity</i> because they are "<i>in Christ</i>" – hence, <i>mutually supporting</i> what God reveals through faith (His inworked <i>persuasion</i>, <a href="/greek/4102.htm">4102</a> <i>/pístis</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/5590.htm">psuché</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>of one mind<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>united in spirit (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 4861: σύμψυχος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σύμψυχος</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">συνψυχος</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">σύν</span></span>, II. at the end)), <span class="greek2">συμψυχον</span> (<span class="greek2">σύν</span> and <span class="greek2">ψυχή</span>), <span class="accented">of one mind</span> (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">unanimis</span>): <span class="accented">of one accord,</span> <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-2.htm">Philippians 2:2</a>.
