Definition:To crucify with

Word Origin:From σύν (G4862, meaning "with") and σταυρόω (G4717, meaning "to crucify")
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συσταυρόω, as the concept of crucifixion is primarily a Roman practice. However, the idea of being united with someone in suffering or death can be related to Hebrew concepts of covenant and sacrifice.
Usage:The verb συσταυρόω (sustauroó) means "to crucify together with" or "to crucify alongside." It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being crucified in association with another, specifically in the context of being crucified with Christ. This term emphasizes a shared experience or participation in the crucifixion.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Roman world, crucifixion was a common method of execution for criminals and slaves, symbolizing extreme shame and suffering. The New Testament writers used this imagery to convey the profound spiritual truth of believers' union with Christ in His death. The concept of being "crucified with Christ" reflects the early Christian understanding of dying to one's old self and sinful nature, and living a new life in Christ.
