Achaicus
/uh-KAY-ih-kus/
Summary
A Christian from Corinth who, with Stephanas and Fortunatus, visited Paul at Ephesus and refreshed his spirit with news of the church.
☩Service to Paul
Achaicus was one of three members of the Corinthian church—along with Stephanas and Fortunatus—who visited Paul at Ephesus while he was writing 1 Corinthians. Their coming greatly encouraged the apostle, who had been distressed by reports of problems at Corinth. Paul commends them to the church's respect and urges believers to "acknowledge such" men who devoted themselves to the service of the saints.
