Colossians 1:7
As ye also learned of Epaphras. "Also" in the Common Version is
not found in the best MSS. They had learned of the gospel, its truth,
its hope, and fruit from Epaphras, who probably planted the church
under Paul's direction. Where he was converted we are not informed, but
possibly at Ephesus, the capital of the province, during Paul's stay of
three years there. Some have held that he is the same as the
Epaphroditus of Philippians 2:25; 4:18, but this is not probable. He is
highly commended here and in Colossians 4:12 and in the latter place is
identified with the Colossian church.
