Koinonia is the Greek word for fellowship. This Koinonia is defined as, not just fellowship as hanging out with other Christians, rather an intimate relationship with other Christians.
If we are to really experience Koinonia in the truest form, we should:
be devoted to one another (Romans 12:10),
honor one another (Romans 12:10),
encourage one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11),
serve one another (Galatians 5:13),
and, admonish one another (Colossians 3:16).
For most of my Christian walk, I never realized the extent of fellowship. Will you join me in expanding your definition of fellowship? Will you experience true Koinonia?

I appreciate your clarity on the essentials of Koinonia along with the references.
Do you think that this idea of Koinonia is much broader than Christian, however? Could not every person benefit from your list, regardless of the spiritual path they have chosen? I do.
Many blessings,
