EPAPHRAS

Coworker with the apostle Paul. Epaphras, a native of Colosse, was responsible for the city’s evangelization, as well as that of Laodicea and Hierapolis. Through him Paul learned of the progress of the Colossian church and thus wrote his letter to the Colossians. Paul’s high regard for Epaphras was evidenced by his use of such terms as “beloved fellow servant,” “faithful minister of Christ” (Col 1:7 (RV · LV · Read together)), and “servant of Christ” (4:12 (RV · LV · Read together)), a title of esteem Paul bestowed only on one other person—Timothy (Phil 1:1 (RV · LV · Read together)). Epaphras was in prison with Paul at the time the letter to Philemon was written (Phlm 1:23 (RV · LV · Read together)).
