1. fellow worker, co-laborer — One who works alongside another, especially in the service of the gospel; used by Paul to describe ministry partners such as Timothy, Titus, Epaphroditus, Prisca, and Aquila. Singular and plural forms convey the same relational concept of shared labor. Spanish 'colaborador/colaboradores' (co-laborer) directly mirrors the Greek compound structure; Hindi 'सहकर्मी' (sah-karmi, co-worker) uses the prefix 'सह-' (with/together) paralleling Greek 'συν-'; Arabic 'شُرَكاءُ العَمَلِ' (partners in work) and 'عَامِل مَعَنَا' (worker with us) decompose the compound into a phrase; Korean '동역자' (同役者, same-service person) uses Sino-Korean characters emphasizing shared service; Swahili 'mfanya-kazi-pamoja/wafanya-kazi-wenzangu' (worker-together/my fellow workers) explicitly marks the collaborative dimension. 13×
