Epaphras. In Colossians 1: 7; 4:12; Philemon 23, one of Paul


Epaphras. In Colossians 1: 7; 4:12; Philemon 23, one of Paul's snapback friends and collaborators called Paul "fellow-servants" and "fellow prisoner". The name is an abbreviation of Epaphroditus, but probably should not be confused with Epaphras Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:25; 4:18 (like the TR Glover, Paul of Tarsus, 1925, p. 179). We can deduce that Epaphras evangelized cities Lycus valley in Phrygia, snapback under the direction of Paul during his ministry in Ephesus; Epaphras founded the church in Colossae, Laodicea, Hierapolis snapback and. Later he visited Paul while he was in prison in Rome and the news about the state churches Lycus valley led him to write the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians.
