A — 1: κοινωνία

(Strong's #2842 — Noun Feminine — koinonia — koy-nohn-ee'-ah )

(a) "communion, fellowship, sharing in common" (from koinos, "common"), is translated "communion" in 1 Corinthians 10:16; Philemon 1:6 , RV, "fellowship," for AV, "communication;" it is most frequently translated "fellowship;" (b) "that which is the outcome of fellowship, a contribution," e.g., Romans 15:26; 2 Corinthians 8:4 .
