sin?ti-kē (Συντύχη, Suntúchē, literally, ?fortunate? (Phi_4:2)): A Christian woman in the church at Philippi; She and Euodia, who had some quarrel or cause of difference between them, are mentioned by name by Paul, and are besought separately: ?I beseech Euodia, and I beseech Syntyche? (the King James Version) to be reconciled to one another, to be ?of the same mind in the Lord.? The apostle also entreats an unnamed Christian at Philippi, whom he terms ?true yokefellow,? to ?help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel.? What he means is that he asks the true yokefellow to help Euodia and Syntyche, each of whom had labored with Paul.
This refers to the visit which he, in company with Silas and Luke and Timothy, paid to Philippi (Act_16:12 ff), and which resulted in the gospel being introduced to that city and the church being formed there. Euodia and Syntyche had been among the first converts and had proved helpful in carrying on the work. The word used for ?labored? signifies ?they joined with me in my struggle,? and probably refers to something more than ordinary labor, for those were critical times of danger and suffering, which the apostle and his companions and fellow-workers then encountered at Philippi.
That workers so enthusiastic and so honored should have quarreled, was very sad. Paul, therefore, entreats them to be reconciled. Doubtless his request was given heed to, especially in view of his promised visit to Philippi. See EUODIA; YOKE-FELLOW.

Syn?tyche, a female Christian named in Php_4:2.

(Συντύχη, with Fate), a female member of the Church of Philippi; mentioned (Php_4:2-3) along with another named Euodias (or rather Euodia). A.D. 57. To what has been said under the latter head the following may be added: The apostle's injunction to these two women is that they should live in harmony with each other, from which we infer that they had, more or less, failed in this respect. Such harmony was doubly important if they held office as deaconesses in the Church, and it is highly probable that this was the case. They had afforded to Paul active co- operation under difficult circumstances (ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ συνήθλησάν μοι, Php_4:3), and perhaps there were at Philippi other women of the same class (αἵτινες, ibid.). At all events, this passage is an illustration of what the Gospel did for women, and women for the Gospel, in the apos-' tolic times; and it is the more interesting as having reference to that Church which was the first founded by Paul in Europe, and the first member of which was Lydia. Some thoughts on this subject will be found in Rilliet, Comm. sur l'Epitre aux Philipp. p. 311-314.
