Thayer's Expanded Definition

κοινωνέω, κοινώνω; 1 aorist ἐκοινώνησα; perfect κεκοινώνηκα; (κοινωνός);

a. to come into communion or fellowship, to become a sharer, be made a partner: as in Greek writings with the genitive of the thing, Hebrews 2:14 ((so Proverbs 1:11; 2 Macc. 14:25)); with the dative of the thing (rarely so in Greek writings), Romans 15:27; (1 Peter 4:13).

b. to enter into fellowship, join oneself as an associate, make oneself a sharer or partner: as in Greek writings, with the dative of the thing, 1 Timothy 5:22; 2 John 1:11; ταῖς χεῖρας τίνος, so to make another's necessities one's own as to relieve them (A. V. communicating to the necessities etc.), Romans 12:13; with the dative of person followed by εἰς τί (as in Plato, rep. 5, p. 453 a.), Philippians 4:15; followed by ἐν with the dative of the thing which one shares with another, Galatians 6:6 (κοινωνησεις ἐν πᾶσι τῷ πλησίον σου καί οὐκ ἐρεῖς ἰδίᾳ εἶναι, Epistle of Barnabas 19, 8 [ET]); cf. Winers Grammar, § 30, 8a.; (Buttmann, § 132, 8; Lightfoot or Ellicott on Galatians 1.

c. Compare: συγκοινωνέω.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Ellicott’s contention (ad 1 Corinthians 10:17) that the difference sometimes drawn between κοινωνέω (partake with others in one undivided thing) and μετέχω (share with those who also have their shares) in 1 Corinthians 10:16 ff. ";cannot be substantiated"; is borne out by the evidence of the inscrr. where the words are practically synonymous : cf. Magn 33.23 (iii/B.C.) τοὺς κοινωνήσοντας τῆς θυσίας with ib. 44.17 ff. (end iii/B.C.) μετέχειν τᾶς τε θυσίας καὶ τοῦ ἀγῶνος, καὶ ἀποστέλλειν θιαρούς, . . . τοὺς κοινωνησοῦντας τᾶς τε θυσίας καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν τιμίων παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς (cf. Thieme, p. 29f.). See also the proclamation by a Prefect, P Oxy XII. 1408.25 f. (A.D. 210–14), where reference is made to the different methods of sheltering robbers—οἱ μὲν γὰρ κοινων ̣[οῦντες τῶν ἀδικη ]μάτων ὑποδέχονται, οἱ δὲ οὐ μετέχοντες μὲν κα [ . . , ";some do so because they are partners in their misdeeds, others without sharing in these yet . . . "; (Edd.). This last ex. bears out Ellicott’s further remark that of the two verbs κοινωνέω ";implies more distinctly the idea of a community with others"; : cf. Brooke ad 1 John 1:3 : ";κοινωνεῖν is always used of active participation, where the result depends on the co-operation of the receiver as well as on the action of the giver."; The editors of the Commagenian Inscriptions (in Humann and Puchstein’s Reisen in Klinasien und Nordsyrien, Texiband p. 371) note the resemblance between a religious inscr. of King Antiochus I. (mid. i/B.C.) πᾶσιν ὅσοι φύσεως κοινωνοῦντες ἀνθρω [πί ]νης and 2 Peter 1:4 ἵνα. . γένησθε θείας κοινωνοὶ φύσεως : see Deissmann BS, p. 368 n.2. Cf. also the phrase τ [οὶ τῶ ]ν ἱερῶν κοινωνεῦντες with reference to the hereditary priesthood of Heracles in Cos (Syll 734.7 al.) : Dittenberger’s Index (Syll III. p. 347) gives several exx. of the verb with temples, rites, or mysteries as the object. For the constr. with dat. of person, as in Philippians 4:15, cf. BGU III. 969i. 13 (A.D. 142 ?) ἀπηλλάγησαν μὲν οὖν οἱ ἀντίδικοι τῆς κτηνοτροφία [ς ] ἧς ἐκοινώνουν τῷ τετελευτηκότι, P Flor I. 36.6 (iv/A.D.) ἑτέρᾳ γυναικὶ κοινωνήσαν [το ]ς, and the touching inscr. which a doctor puts up to his wife (who had herself studied medicine), Cagnat IV. 507 b .19 ὡ [ς ζωιῆ ]ς μον [αχῇ ] σοι ἐκοινώνησα, ";as with you alone I shared my life.";
