suvn suvn (the older form
xuvn, is still found in some editions in composition (as
xumbaivnw Rec.^bez; see Liddell and Scott, under the word, at the beginning; cf. Sigma)), a preposition; it is never used in the Apocalypse, rarely by Matthew (some four times (texts vary)), Mark (some five times, or John (three times)) (who prefer
metav), more frequently by Luke ((Gospel and Acts) about 79 times) and Paul (about 39 times; on the comparative frequency of these prepositions in the classics, see Liddell and Scott, under the word, at the beginning). It takes the dative after it, and denotes accompaniment and fellowship, wheter of action, or of belief, or of condition and experience; (according to the grammarians (cf. Donaldson, New Crat. sec. 181; Kr?ger, sec. 68,13,1; K?hner, ii, p. 438); Winer's Grammar, 391 (366), a fellowship far closer and more intimate than that expressed by
metav although in the N. T. this distinction is much more often neglected than observed). Latin cum, English with.I.1. Passages in which the subject of an active verb is said t o be or t o d o something
