συναπο-θνήσκω G4880
to die together with, share death with; to experience death in company with another
A compound verb meaning to die together with someone, to share death. It appears three times: Peter's declaration 'even if I must die with you, I will not deny you' (Mark 14:31), Paul's statement 'you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together' (2 Cor 7:3), and 'if we died with him, we will also live with him' (2 Tim 2:11). The word combines 'together' (συν-) with 'die,' emphasizing shared death—either literal martyrdom or spiritual union with Christ's death. Shared death creates shared destiny.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Languages preserve the compound: English 'die with/together', Spanish 'morir contigo/co-morimos', French 'mourir avec', German 'mitsterben'. The three uses span Peter's failed promise (Mark 14:31), Paul's deep bond with Corinth (2 Cor 7:3), and believers' union with Christ (2 Tim 2:11). Dying together—whether literally or in baptismal identification—creates indestructible connection and guarantees shared resurrection. 3×
