Syzygus
Paul's Faithful Fellow Worker
Syzygus was a fellow worker in the church at Philippi whom Paul mentions in his letter. His name means 'true yokefellow' or 'faithful companion,' and Paul asked him to help reconcile Euodia and Syntyke, two women who had been in conflict with each other.

Encouragement to Help the Women
Paul addressed Syzygus directly and asked him to help Euodia and Syntyke agree in the Lord, since they had struggled alongside Paul in the service of the gospel.
2I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Εὐοδίαν παρακαλῶ καὶ Συντύχην παρακαλῶ τὸ αὐτὸ φρονεῖν ἐν κυρίῳ.
3Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women, for they struggled side by side with me in the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
ναὶ ἐρωτῶ καὶ σέ, ⸂γνήσιε σύζυγε⸃, συλλαμβάνου αὐταῖς, αἵτινες ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ συνήθλησάν μοι μετὰ καὶ Κλήμεντος καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν συνεργῶν μου, ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα ἐν βίβλῳ ζωῆς.
