Fellowship

Same NT word, but in Modern Greek ‘κοινωνία’ primarily and most commonly means either ‘society’ (the whole social order) or ‘Holy Communion’ (receiving the sacrament, ‘πήγα να κοινωνήσω,’ ‘I went to receive communion’). Romans’ general sense of shared participation in Christ among believers must be disambiguated from both dominant modern senses.
