κοινός (G2839)

adjc. | -ή, -όν | κοινόω

57.9 · Possess, Transfer, Exchange · Have, Possess, Property, Owner

shared, mutual, common pertaining to sharing with someone else in a possession or a relationship implying mutual interest Since the emphasis in TIT 1:4 is upon the fact that Paul and Titus have the same faith, one may also translate as ‘... the faith that you and I have’ or ‘... the faith we both believe in.’

ACT 2:44 · TIT 1:4

53.39 · Religious Activities · Defile, Unclean, Common

defiled, ritually unclean pertaining to being ritually unacceptable, either as the result of defilement or because of the very nature of the object itself (for example, ritually unacceptable animals) It is possible that there is some subtle distinction in meaning, particularly on a connotative level, between κοινός[b] and ἀκάθαρτος in ACT 10:14, but it is difficult to determine the precise differences of meaning on the basis of existing contexts. The two terms are probably used in ACT 10:14 primarily for the sake of emphasis.

65.15 · Value · Valuable, Lacking in Value

of little value, relatively worthless pertaining to being of little value, in view of being ordinary and common

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κοινός. We may begin by citing a few miscellaneous exx. showing the varied uses of this adj.—P Petr I. 2117 (B.c. 237) αὐλὴ κοινή, P Eleph 1° (B.c. 311-0) (= Selections, p. 2) κοινῆι βουλῆι, ‘in consultation together,’” BGU IV. 1137?2 (B.c. 6) ἔδοξε κοινῇ γνώμῃ κτλ., P Oxy 11. 282! (A.D. 30-35) τῆς κοινῆς συμβιώσεως, of husband and wife, P Lond 9324 (A.D. 211) (= III. p. 148) ὁ κοινὸς αὐτῶν πατὴρ “Eppato[s, P Tebt II. 319° (A.D. 248) κοινὰς τὰς ὑπάρχουσας (ἀρούpas), and BGU IV. 1080! (iii/a.b. ?) κατὰ τὰς κοινὰς ἡμῶν εὐχὰς kal προσευχάς. Similarly from the inscrr.—Sy// 213% , KOLV@VE®@ (iii/B.C.) διετέλεσεν ἀγωνιζόμενος ὑπὲρ τῆς κοινῆς σωτηρίας, 2), 22613 (iii/B.c.) τῶν δὲ κοινῶν ἐξηπορημένων, ‘the resources being exhausted,” and 2b. 3478(B.c. 48) an Ephesian decree in honour of Julius Caesar—roy ἀπὸ "Αρεως καὶ ᾿Αφροδε[(Π}τῆς θεὸν ἐπιφανῆ kal κοινὸν τοῦ ἀνθρωπίνου βίου σωτῆρα. In Brit. Mus. Inserr. 111. 413} (Priene) κοινὴν ἐπο[ιήσαντ]ο τὴν ἀρχήγ, K. = “impartial.” Ta κοινά is frequently used in the sense of “the customary formula” in such phrases as μετὰ τὰ κοινά (P Leid Mi? —n.c. 135) (=I. p. 59) and τὰ δ᾽] ἄλλα τῶν κοινῶν (P Oxy II. 236 (4)8—3.c. 64 : see note). This last is a common periphrasis to avoid the trouble of writing the long lists of priesthoods at Alexandria which generally occur in protocols of ii/B.c. (see the editors’ note ad /., and for a further list of exx. the note on P Giss I. 36°). For τὰ πάντα κοινά = “‘the world,” ‘the universe,” cf. P Leid Bi-18 (B.c. 164) (=I. p. 10). The technical τὸ κοινόν, ‘‘society,”’ “ guild,” may be illustrated by the references to τὸ κοινὸν τῶν τεκτόνων in P Oxy I. 53? and τὸ κοινὸν τῶν σιδηροχαλκέων (‘‘ironworkers”’) in 75. 8413, both of a.p. 316: cf. 7b. 54% (A.D. 201) γνώμῃ τοῦ κοινοῦ τῶν ἀρχόντων, ‘in accordance with the decision of the council of magistrates,’’ and P Thead 17? (A.D. 332) παρὰ Tod κοινοῦ τῶν ἀπὸ κώμης Φιλαδελφίας. See also Jouguet Vie municipale, p. 309Ff., San Nicold deg. Vereinswesen, i. p. 204 ff. In P Lond 11788? (A.D. 194) (ΞΞ 111. p. 218) κοινὰ τῆς ᾿Ασίας are the great games of Asia. ἸΚοινός, ‘profane,’ as in Ac tol αἱ, appears to be a specifically Jewish usage, but as leading up to this meaning Lietzmann (ad Rom 14™ in HZNT) cites Plutarch Zvroticus 4 p. 751” καλὸν yap ἣ φιλία καὶ ἀστεῖον, ἡ δὲ ἡδονὴ κοινὸν καὶ ἀνελεύθερον. For the adv. κοινῶς see P Ryl II. 108! (A.D. 110-111) κοινῶς ἐξ ἴσου, “jointly in equal shares,” and for κοινῆι see P Magd 29? (B.c. 218) 27. Marcus Antoninus (i. 16) coins the expressive compound κοινονοημοσύνη to denote ‘* public spirit.
