<p> A [[Christian]] of Achaia, who with [[Stephanas]] and [[Fortunatus]] was the bearer of Paul's [[First]] [[Epistle]] to the Corinthians, and recommended in it to their regard, as one of those who supplied his yearning for Christian fellowship and "refreshed his spirit" ( <span> 1 Corinthians 16:17-18 </span> ). </p> | |||

<p> <strong> ACHAICUS </strong> . The name of a member of the [[Church]] at Corinth. [[He]] was with [[Stephanas]] and [[Fortunatus]] ( <span> 1 Corinthians 16:17 </span> f.) when they visited St. [[Paul]] at [[Ephesus]] and ‘refreshed his spirit.’ [[Nothing]] more is certainly known of him. [[As]] slaves were often named from the country of their birth, it is a probable conjecture that he was a slave, born in Achaia. </p> <p> J. G. Tasker. </p> | |||

<p> [[One]] of many worthies whose character adorned the early Church, and whose service edified it, but whom we know only by a casual reference in the NT. [[In]] <span> 1 Corinthians 16:17 </span> St. [[Paul]] rejoices ‘at the coming of [[Stephanas]] and [[Fortunatus]] and Achaicus.’ [[Probably]] they formed a deputation from the [[Corinthian]] Church; they may have been bearers of the letter of inquiry which St. Paul answers in ch. 7ff. [[His]] language suggests that their coming somewhat reassured him after the disquieting news brought by Chloe’s household, and other ugly rumours ( <span> 1 Corinthians 5:1 </span> ). [[Perhaps]] they represented the parties in Corinth; yet they must have been trusted by the [[Church]] and must also have shown themselves loyal to the Apostle. [[Achaicus]] is such a rare name that some authorities call it ‘Greek,’ others ‘Roman.’ The suggestion that Achaicus was a slave-either of Stephanas or of Chloe-does not comport either with his position as a delegate or with St. Paul’s appeal to the Church to ‘acknowledge such,’ <i> i.e. </i> to recognize the quality of their service and to treat them with becoming deference. </p> <p> Literature.-articles in <i> Hasting's [[Dictionary]] of the [[Bible]] (5 vols) </i> on ‘Achaicus,’ and ‘I.

Mummius, conqueror of [[Corinth]] and [[Achaia]] (compare <a> CORINTH </a> ). [[Achaicus]] was one of the leaders of the [[Corinthian]] church (to be inferred from <span> 1 Corinthians 16:15 </span> ) who, visiting [[Paul]] at [[Ephesus]] with [[Stephanas]] and Fortunatus, greatly relieved the Apostle's anxiety for the Corinthian church (compare <span> 1 Corinthians 5:1 </span> ). Paul admonishes the members of the [[Cor]] church to submit to their authority (compare <span> 1 Thessalonians 5:12 </span> ) and to acknowledge their work ( <span> 1 Corinthians 16:15 </span> ). </p> | |||
