Episunagoge is a coming together, either to Christ or in mutual meeting and encouragement.

The two verses show a coming together: in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 it is described in relation to being gathered to Christ, while Hebrews 10:25 places it in the context of meeting together rather than neglecting mutual encouragement.

Senses in use

    In 2 Thessalonians 2:1, the genitive singular form occurs in a request concerning Christ's coming and the believers' gathering to him; the APB renders the clause "our gathering to him." In Hebrews 10:25, the accusative singular form stands in the warning not to neglect meeting together, followed by encouragement of one another; the APB renders "not neglecting to meet together."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses as "our gathering to him" in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 and "not neglecting to meet together" in Hebrews 10:25. These render the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
