Bringing together: for better or worse

There are two ancient Greek words that are similar. One has a positive connotation. One has a negative connotation. Interestingly, in the GNT (Greek New Testament) in 1 Corinthians, one Greek manuscript uses one word and another Greek manuscript uses the other word.

*G4851 *17 συμφέρω (soom-fer'-o) : from G4862 and G5342 (including its alternate); to bear together (contribute), i.e. (literally) to collect, or (figuratively) to conduce; especially (neuter participle as a noun) advantage:--be better for, bring together, be expedient (for), be good, (be) profit(-able for).

Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [kjv]

ει δε ο οφθαλμος σου ο δεξιος σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν [gnt]

The ancient Greek word "συμφέρω" ≈ "bring together, work with, to be carried along with" and comes from two words.

The prefix "συν" ≈ "with" or "συμ" ≈ "with" as in the English words "synergy" or "symphony".
The word "φέρω" ≈ "bring, carry, bear" and is related to the English word "bear" (as in carrying something).

This word has a positive connotation. A word from this word is the ancient Greek word "συμφορά" ≈ "bringing together"as in an "event" or "circumstance" but is rarely in a good sense and thus has a negative connotation.

*G4851 *17 συμφέρω (soom-fer'-o) : from G4862 and G5342 (including its alternate); to bear together (contribute), i.e. (literally) to collect, or (figuratively) to conduce; especially (neuter participle as a noun) advantage:--be better for, bring together, be expedient (for), be good, (be) profit(-able for).
