New Testament
Erastus
A faithful associate of the Apostle Paul who served in ministry and held a civic role in Corinth.
Erastus was a companion of Paul who assisted him during his ministry in Ephesus and was later identified as the city treasurer of Corinth. While some scholars debate if the Erastus mentioned in Romans 16:23 is the same individual as the one in Acts and 2 Timothy, he remains a notable example of a believer serving the church while maintaining public responsibilities. His mention in 2 Timothy 4:20 highlights his continued connection to Paul's missionary work.
