Senses in use

  1. A shared sympathetic disposition · dominant

    In 1 Peter 3:8, συμπαθεῖς is a nominative plural masculine adjective within an exhortatory list addressed to “all.” The APB renders the list as “like-minded, sympathetic, loving the brothers, compassionate, and humble-minded,” presenting this quality alongside the other named dispositions.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Peter 3:8, the APB includes “sympathetic” in a list of qualities. The precise English correspondence is supported by the clause but cannot be isolated beyond that list.
