Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὁμιλία [page 448] ὁμιλία occurs in the NT only in Paul s citation ( 1Co_15:33 ) from Menander s Thais ( Fragm. p. 62, No. 218) : φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρηστὰ ὁμιλίαι κακαί : cf. Euripides Fragm. 1013 (Nauck). Ὁμιλία may mean either conversation (Vg solloquia ) or companionship (Beza commercia ), and the latter is obviously the leading idea here : cf. P Oxy III. 471 .76 (ii/A.D.) σύνβολα δεικνύντα τῆς πρὸς τοῦτον ὁμειλίας . showing signs of his intercourse ( in malam partem ) with him, and Xen. Mem. i. 2. 20 ὁμιλία τῶν χρηστῶν . MGr μιλιά , conversation, speech, gossip : μίλημα , conversation, proclamation.
