Ep'aphras. (lovely). A fellow laborer with the apostle Paul, mentioned in Colossians 1:7, as having taught the Colossian church, the grace of God in truth, and designated a faithful minister of Christ on their behalf. He was, at that time, with St. Paul at Rome. (A.D. 57). For Paul's estimate of him, see Colossians 1:7-8; Colossians 4:12.
