Achaicus Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Achaicus is mentioned only once in the Bible, in 1Co 16:17. He was a member of the Corinthian church who, along with Stephanas and Fortunatus, visited the apostle Paul during his ministry. These three men likely brought news and a letter from the Corinthian church to Paul, as well as supplies and encouragement.
Paul expresses his joy and refreshment at their arrival, as they filled in for the absence of the Corinthians (1Co. 1Co 16:17-18). He urges the Corinthian believers to submit to and appreciate such people who serve faithfully.

(1 Cor. 16:17), one of the members of the church of Corinth who, with Fortunatus and Stephanas, visited Paul while he was at Ephesus, for the purpose of consulting him on the affairs of the church. These three probably were the bearers of the letter from Corinth to the apostle to which he alludes in 1 Cor. 7:1.
