kō̇ -mūn ´, kō̇mūn´i -kāt , ko -mū -ni -kā´shun : To commune is to converse confidentially and sympathetically. It is represented in both Hebrew and Greek by several words literally signifying to speak (compare Luke 6:11 , διαλαλέω , dialaléō ; also Luke 22:4; Acts 24:26 , ὁμιλέω , homiléō ). To communicate is to impart something to another, so that it becomes common to giver and receiver. In 1 Timothy 6:18 , "willing to communicate" (the Revised Version, margin "sympathize"), represents a single word κοινωνικοί , koinōnikoı́ , and refers to the habit of sharing with others either sympathy or property. the Revised Version (British and American) gives "companionships" for homilı́ai in 1 Corinthians 15:33 (the King James Version "communications"). See also COMMUNION .
