With, together with: of companionship and association, εἶναι σύν τινι, of partisanship; οἱ σύν τινι, of attendants, companions or colleagues, of assistance, ἡ χάρις θεοῦ σὺν ἐμοί; of two or more things together, almost = καί,; σὺν Χριστῷ ζῆν; besides (FlJ, LXX), σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις. In composition: with (συνχαίρω), together (συνωδίνω), altogether (συντελέω)
