New Testament
Apelles
A Christian in Rome commended by the Apostle Paul for his proven character and faithfulness.
Apelles is mentioned only in Romans 16:10, where Paul sends him personal greetings. Paul describes him as being approved in Christ, using the Greek term dokimos (G1384), which signifies one who has been tested and found genuine. His inclusion in the list of believers in Rome highlights the diverse community of early Christians who supported Paul's ministry.
