# Epaphroditus

This is the name of a man sent by the Philippian church to minister to Paul in prison. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])

# fellow worker and fellow soldier

Here Paul is speaking of Epaphroditus as if he were a soldier. He means that Epaphroditus is trained and is dedicated to serving God, no matter how great the hardship he must suffer. Alternate translation: "fellow believer who works and struggles along with us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# your messenger and servant for my needs

"who brings your messages to me and helps me when I am in need"
