synergism (siner jizem)n.
- the simultaneous action of separate agencies which, together, have greater total effect than the sum of their individual effects
- the combined or correlated action of different organs or parts of the body, as of muscles working together
"...my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier..."
Philippians 2:25
"... you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
1Peter 2:5
"...We teach everyone we can all that we know about Him, so that, if possible, we may bring every man up to his full maturity in Christ Jesus."
Colossians 1:28 (adapted from Phillips)
