noun, m. | -ου | στρατεύομαι

34.19 · Association · Associate

one who struggles along with, one who works arduously along with, fellow struggler (a figurative extension of meaning of συστρατιώτης ‘fellow soldier,’ not occurring in the NT) one who serves in arduous tasks or undergoes severe experiences together with someone else A strictly literal translation of συστρατιώτης in PHM 1:2 might imply that Paul himself was a soldier and therefore, in a sense, a secret agent of some military force. Accordingly, it may be necessary to employ a simile, for example, ‘who works like a fellow soldier’ or ‘one who experiences great hardships along with us.’
