Epaphroditus. [Epaphrodi'tus]


One who brought supplies from Philippi to Paul, who styles him "my brother and companion in labour and fellow soldier." When with Paul at Rome he became very ill, 'nigh unto death.' The deep affection between him and the Philippian saints is very evident by

his sorrow that they should have heard of his sickness. He hazarded his life by his association with Paul a prisoner. Phil. 2: 25; Phil. 4: 18.
