Epaphroditus

I-paf´ruh-di´tuhs

A Philippian Christian who brought gifts from Philippi to Paul in prison (Phil 4:18). Epaphroditus had been seriously ill, but had recovered. Because of anxiety in Philippi concerning the illness of Epaphroditus, and because Paul himself was unable to go, he sent Epaphroditus back to Philippi (Phil 2:25-30).
