συνεργέω, συνεργῷ; imperfect 3 person singular συνήργει; (συνεργός, which see); from Euripides, Xenophon, Demosthenes down; Vulg. cooperor ((in 2 Corinthians 6:1adjuco)); to work together, help in work, be a partner in labor: 1 Corinthians 16:16; 2 Corinthians 6:1; to put forth power together with and thereby to assist, Mark 16:20; τίνι, with one: ἡ πίστις συνήργει τοῖς ἔργοις, faith (was not inactive, but by coworking) caused Abraham to produce works, James 2:22 (here Tr text συνεργεῖ (hardly a collateral form of συνείργω to unite, but) a misprint for συνεργεῖ); τίνι εἰς τί (in secular writings also πρός τί, see Passow (or Liddell and Scott), under the word), to assist, help (be serviceable to) one for a thing, Romans 8:28 (A. V. all things work together for good); τί τίνι εἰς τί, a breviloquence equivalent to συνεργῶν, πορίζω τί τίνι, so that according to the reading πάντα συνεργεῖ ὁ Θεός the meaning is, 'for them that love God, God coworking provides all things for good or so that it is well with them' (Fritzsche) (R. V. marginal reading God worketh all things with them for good), Romans 8:28 Lachmann (WH in brackets; cf. Buttmann, 193 (167)) (ἑαυτοῖς τά συμφέροντα, Xenophon, mem. 3, 5, 16). Cf. Fritzsche, Ep. ad Romans, vol. ii, p. 193f.
