   In 1 Corinthians 12:26, the third-person present active form occurs in the clause where all the members respond when one member suffers; the APB renders the clause "all the members suffer with it." In Romans 8:17, the first-person present active plural form states suffering with him in connection with being co-heirs and later being glorified with him; the APB renders "we suffer with him."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with "suffer with it" in 1 Corinthians 12:26 and "suffer with him" in Romans 8:17. These phrases confirm the clauses' shared-suffering relation rather than isolate every element of the Greek term.
