1: προσανατίθημι

(Strong's #4323 — Verb — prosanatithemi — pros-an-at-ith'-ay-mee )

lit., "to put before" (pros, "towards," ana, "up," and tithemi, "to put"), i.e., "to lay a matter before others so as to obtain counsel or instruction," is used of Paul's refraining from consulting human beings, Galatians 1:16 (translated "imparted" in Galatians 2:6; AV, "added ... in conference"). Cp. the shorter form anatithemi, in Galatians 2:2 , "laid before," the less intensive word being used there simply to signify the imparting of information, rather than conferring with others to seek advice. See ADD , IMPART.

(Strong's #4814 — Verb — sullaleo — sool-lal-eh'-o )

"to speak together with" (sun, "with," laleo, "to speak"), is translated "conferred" in Acts 25:12; elsewhere of talking with, Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 4:36; 9:30; "communed" in Luke 22:4 . See COMMUNE , SPEAK , TALK.

3: συμβάλλω

(Strong's #4820 — Verb — sumballo — soom-bal'-lo )

lit., "to throw together" (sun, "with," ballo, "to throw"), is used of "conversation, to discourse or consult together, confer," Acts 4:15 . See ENCOUNTER , HELP , MEET WITH , PONDER.

Note: For the AV, "conference" in Galatians 2:6 , see No. 1, above.
