Sugkoinonos denotes sharing with others in a benefit, experience, or stated reality.

The attested uses describe sharing in something named by the clause: the gospel, grace, the pressure, kingdom, and perseverance in Jesus, or the root's richness in the olive-tree image. The same basic participation relation appears across the four verses, though the shared reality differs.

   In 1 Corinthians 9:23, the nominative singular form occurs in the purpose clause about becoming a participant in the gospel; the APB renders the clause “that I may become a sharer of it.” In Philippians 1:7, the accusative plural form identifies all of the addressees as sharing with the speaker in grace, while Revelation 1:9 and Romans 11:17 describe participation respectively in the stated realities in Jesus and in the root's richness.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “sharer” in 1 Corinthians 9:23, Philippians 1:7, and Romans 11:17, and “fellow participant” in Revelation 1:9. These renderings confirm the verses' shared-participation context rather than establish separate meanings.
