just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf, and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
He bought the Gospel to his hometown
Paul’s high regard for Epaphras was evidenced by his use of such terms as “beloved fellow servant,” “faithful minister of Christ” (Col 1:7), and “servant of Christ” (4:12), a title of esteem Paul bestowed only on one other person (Timothy in Phil 1:1). Epaphras was in prison with Paul at the time the letter to Philemon was written
He was the founder of three of the churches (Colossae, Hierapolis, and Laodicea) in the Lycus River Valley and Paul’s representative . He was probably converted during Paul’s stay at Ephesus
