Greek word for fellowship is koinonia = to partnership and deep involvement
Word also defined as "sharing together in the common life"
Word used outside of NT to describe marriage
The root word - Koinon = "common" or "in common"
Galatians 6:1-2
- NT letter deal with relationships more than any other subject
- Carry each other's burden - burdens produced by sin
- Christians are to be involved to know what sin's others are struggling to overcome
