"The Idea of Community" In the English language, community usually refers to people with common interests who live in a certain place. However, in the Spanish language, the word comunidad does not refer to the area or place in which a person lives. It refers to love and concern that one person feels for another. This is a higher use of the word community. Community can also be used to describe a group of people held together by a common cause. For example, in some countries, people doing the same type of work form an organization known as a trade union to better advance their common interests. The second section of the Bible, the New Testament, was first written in the Greek language. The Greek word koinonia in the New Testament is often translated as “fellowship” or “partnership.” It implies being involved in something with someone else and indicates a two-way relationship with emphasis placed either on the giving or the receiving. Koinonia is also translated as “participation,” “communion,” or “contribution.”
