to live together with, share life with; to cohabit or exist in common life with someone
A compound verb meaning to live together with, to share a common life. Paul uses it three times: 'if we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him' (Rom 6:8, 2 Tim 2:11), and declaring the Corinthians are in his heart 'to die together and to live together' (2 Cor 7:3). The word combines 'together' (συν-) with 'live' (ζάω), emphasizing shared existence—not just proximity but common life. Classical uses include living together domestically, dwelling alongside, or sharing a way of life.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Languages show the compound: English 'live together/live with', Spanish 'vivir juntos/co-viviremos', French 'vivre ensemble/mitleben', German 'mitleben' (live with). Paul's uses all tie shared living to shared dying: believers united to Christ in death share His resurrection life (Rom 6:8, 2 Tim 2:11), and Paul's bond with Corinth means shared destiny—dying together or living together (2 Cor 7:3). Common life flows from common death. 3×
