ὁμοθυμαδόν
homothymadón
G3661 adverb
SILEX Entry
Definition
Adverb indicating a state or manner of acting with united purpose, common intent, or harmonious agreement—literally, 'with one passion' or 'with the same mind.' In context, it describes people acting, speaking, or experiencing together with inward unity or shared motivation. The term can refer to emotional, volitional, or intellectual concurrence, emphasizing solidaristic action or feeling.
Semantic Range
in harmony, in unison, unanimously, with shared resolve, with one purpose, with one emotion or spirit, in complete agreement
Root / Etymology
From a compound of ὁμοῦ ('together, same') and θυμός ('spirit, mind, passion, temperament'), forming an adverbial expression. The structure conveys the sense of sharing the same temperament or emotional disposition.
Historical & Contextual Notes
ὁμοθυμαδόν is predominantly found in Hellenistic and Koine Greek, especially in Luke-Acts, to describe social, political, or religious gatherings acting with extraordinary unity. While classical Greek uses similar constructions for 'with one voice' or 'with one mind,' this specific adverb is less frequent before the Koine period. In the Septuagint and especially in the New Testament, ὁμοθυμαδόν emphasizes not simply physical togetherness but internal agreement or harmonious orientation among a group. English translations typically render it as 'with one accord,' 'together,' or 'unanimously,' which capture the sense of unity but may obscure the emphasis on inward motivation or shared emotional purpose. The term does not inherently specify the content or ideology of the unity—only its strength and completeness.
Translation Consistency
The SILEX range emphasizes acting, speaking, or feeling with one mind or shared purpose. 'Together' is a natural, versatile adverb that conveys unity of action, intent, and feeling in everyday English (clearer and less formal than 'unanimously' or awkward as a participle like 'shared'), so it best fits the typical usage across contexts.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
adverb from a compound of the base of ὁμοῦ and θυμός; unanimously:--with one accord (mind).
