σύζῠγ-ος G4805
Yoke-fellow, one joined together in work or purpose; comrade, partner
A companion or partner who shares the same burden, literally 'yoked together' like oxen working side by side. In Philippians 4:3, Paul addresses a 'true yokefellow' (translated variously as 'companion' or 'fellow worker'), appealing to this trusted partner to help two women resolve their conflict. The term carries deep connotations of shared labor and mutual commitment. Whether Paul means a specific individual or uses it as a name, the image is of someone bound in common purpose.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Partnership in ministry or shared purpose, drawing on the agricultural image of two animals yoked together to pull a load. The multilingual evidence shows interpretive variation: English 'yokefellow' preserves the metaphor, Spanish 'compañero' emphasizes companionship, German 'Mitarbeiter' (co-worker) stresses collaborative labor, while French retains the Greek untranslated. This single occurrence in Philippians captures both intimacy and shared mission. 1×
