The one taught shares (6:6)
Says Galatians 6:6 reads Κοινωνείτω δὲ ὁ κατηχούμενος τὸν λόγον τῷ κατηχοῦντι ἐν πᾶσιν ἀγαθοῖς. The verb is a third-person imperative; κοινωνέω is “to have a share of, go shares in (something) with (some one), take part in”, here with ἐν.
Says Both participles come from κατηχέω, “to teach by word of mouth, instruct, inform”: ὁ κατηχούμενος is the one taught and τῷ κατηχοῦντι the one teaching. The BSB has “the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor”.
Uncertain What the sharing in 6:6 covers is not settled here. No lean is taken here.
