Cognate: 3671 homología (from 3674 /homoú, "the same, together" and 3004 /légō, "speak to a conclusion, lay to rest") – properly, a conclusion embraced by common confession (profession, affirmation).

3671 /homología ("common confession") can refer to the collective agreement of Christians about what God loves and hates – and the courage to proclaim it! See also 3670 (homologéō).

[The cognate verb, 3670 /homologéō, also means "to say the same thing about."

3671 (homologia) in classical Greek means, "an agreement, assent, compact (in the papyri, of a contract; Deiss., BS, 249), hence a confession" (Abbott-Smith).]
