sunergeo describes acting in concert, whether people labor together or faith and works are joined in action.

The attested use describes working in concert: people join in labor or ministry, while faith is joined with works and all things are presented as acting together toward good.

Senses in use

  1. Acting together in a shared action · dominant

    The present participles describe people joined in labor or appeal: in 1 Corinthians 16:16 the APB renders those who “join[] in the work and labor[],” and in 2 Corinthians 6:1 it renders the nominative plural form “Working together.” In Mark 16:20, the genitive singular participle occurs as the Lord works with those who preach; the indicative forms extend the same joined action to faith with works in James 2:22 and to all things in Romans 8:28.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation across the verses, using “joins in the work,” “Working together,” “worked with,” “cooperated with,” and “work together.” These renderings show the clauses' overall presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
