In my modern Greek dictionary, there are several terms for
"contemporary":

1. sugchronos
2. tHs idias epochHs
3. monternos
4 idias Hlikias

Is there a koine word which carries basically the same meaning as our
modern American word "contemporary"? I know that Hlikia and idios are
found several times in the NT.

For my present purposes, it would also be helpful to know that should
there be such a word, if it is ever used in reference to "worship"
(latreia), or a synonymn.
