Question: "What is koinonia?"
Answer: Koinonia is a Greek word that occurs 20 times in the Bible. Koinonia’s
primary meaning is “fellowship, sharing in common, communion.” The first
occurrence of koinonia is Acts 2:42, “They devoted themselves to the apostles'
teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Christian
fellowship is a key aspect of the Christian life. Believers in Christ are to come
together in love, faith, and encouragement. That is the essence of koinonia.
Philippians 2:1-2 declares, “If you have any encouragement from being united with
6

Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded,
having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” Koinonia is being in
agreement with one another, being united in purpose, and serving alongside each
other. Our koinonia with each other is based on our common koinonia with Jesus
Christ. First John 1:6-7, “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in
the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanses us from all sin.”
A powerful example of what koinonia should look like can be found in a study of the
phrase “one another” in the Bible. Scripture commands us to be devoted to one
another (Romans 12:10), honor one another (Romans 12:10), live in harmony with
one another (Romans 12:16; 1 Peter 3:8), accept one another (Romans 15:7), serve
one another in love (Galatians 5:13), be kind and compassionate to one another
(Ephesians 4:32), admonish one another (Colossians 3:16), encourage one another
(1 Thessalonians 5:11; Hebrews 3:13), spur one another on toward love and good
deeds (Hebrews 10:24), offer hospitality (1 Peter 4:9), and love one another (1 Peter
1:22; 1 John 3:11; 3:23; 4:7; 4:11-12). That is what true biblical koinonia should look
like.
