SIBI-P1 G3348-04

the one sharing-in

Rootμετέχω (metechō)
Core Meaningsshare in, partake, participate, have with, possess jointly
Semantic Rangeto share in something, partake of food or drink, participate in an activity, have a portion in, belong to or be associated with
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, μετέχω often expresses participation in spiritual realities (such as sharing in Christ, suffering, or blessings), highlighting covenantal fellowship and active involvement rather than passive association.
Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). Denotes an ongoing action performed by a masculine singular subject functioning substantivally as "the one who shares."
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "the one sharing-in" preserves the compound sense of μετά (with) + ἔχω (to have), conveying the idea of having with or participating in something. The present active participle is reflected by the ongoing sense "sharing," and the nominative masculine singular form is represented by "the one," indicating a single male subject actively engaged in participation.
