The noun denotes agreement, approval, or joint consent—minds aligned in the same judgment. Classical philosophy distinguished this from mere opinion, using it technically for the mind's assent to perception. In Stoic thought, it meant the decisive mental assent that constitutes belief. Paul employs it rhetorically, asking what 'agreement' the temple of God has with idols—expecting the answer 'none.' The term emphasizes incompatibility rather than mere difference, suggesting that fundamental accord between God's temple and false worship is categorically impossible.
