<p> '''''fôr''''' -'''''t̬ū̇''''' -'''''nā´tus''''' ( Φορτουνάτος , <i> '''''Phortounátos''''' </i> ): A R oman proper name turned into Gr; same as [[Latin]] adjective <i> fortunatus </i> , meaning "blest," or "fortunate." Found only once in the [[Bible]] ( 1 Corinthians 16:17 ). Fortunatus, with [[Stephanas]] and Achaicus, was an amabassador of the [[Corinthian]] church, whose presence at [[Ephesus]] refreshed the spirit of the apostle Paul. </p> | <p> 1 Corinthians 16:17 , came from [[Corinth]] to Ephesus, to visit Paul. [[Paul]] speaks of [[Stephanus.]] Fortunatus, and [[Achaicus]] as the first fruits of Achaia, and as set for the service of the church and saints. They carried Paul's first epistle to Corinth. </p> | ||

<p> (1 Corinthians 16:17). [[Of]] Stephanas' household probably 1 Corinthians 1:16), which [[Paul]] himself baptized. At [[Ephesus]] with [[Stephanas]] and [[Achaicus]] when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians. </p> | |||

<p> <strong> FORTUNATUS </strong> . The name of an apparently young member of the household of Stephanas, and a Corinthian. [[With]] [[Stephanas]] and [[Achaicus]] he visited St. [[Paul]] at [[Ephesus]] ( 1 Corinthians 16:17 ); he had probably been baptized by the [[Apostle]] himself ( 1 Corinthians 1:16 ). Lightfoot ( <em> [[Clement]] </em> , i. 29, ii. 187) thinks that he may well have been alive forty years later, and that he may be the [[Fortunatus]] mentioned in Clement of Rome’s [[Epistle]] to the Corinthians (§ <strong> 65 </strong> ). The manner in which the name is there introduced suggests that it belongs to a Corinthian. </p> <p> A. J. Maclean. </p> | |||

<p> [[Fortunatus]] was one of three deputies from the [[Church]] in [[Corinth]] who visited St. [[Paul]] in Ephesus, perhaps bearing letters, and to whom he refers in 1 Corinthians 16:17-18. [[Nothing]] more is known of him. It seems unlikely that all the deputies would belong to one household, as Weizsäcker ( <i> Apostol. [[Age]] </i> , Eng. translation, i. 2 [1897] 305) suggests, or that all were slaves (so T. C Edwards, <i> ad loc. </i> ). [[Clement]] refers to a Fortunatus (in <i> Ep. ad [[Cor]] </i> . § 65) as accompanying his messengers from [[Rome]] to Corinth, but distinguishes him from them; the name, however, is too common for identification (see [[Achaicus]] and Stephanas). </p> <p> J. E. Roberts. </p> | |||

<p> A [[Christian]] of [[Corinth]] mentioned by Paul. 1 Corinthians 16:17 . [[Apparently]] the same that is alluded to by [[Clement]] the apostolic father in his first Epistle. </p> | |||

<p> Fortuna'tus. (fortunate). 1 Corinthians 16:17. [[One]] of the three Corinthians, the others being [[Stephanas]] and Achaicus, who were at [[Ephesus]] when St. [[Paul]] wrote his first Epistle. There is a [[Fortunatus]] mentioned in the end of Clement's first [[Epistle]] to the Corinthians, who was possibly the same person. </p> | |||

<p> '''''fôr''''' -'''''t̬ū̇''''' -'''''nā´tus''''' ( Φορτουνάτος , <i> '''''Phortounátos''''' </i> ): A R oman proper name turned into Gr; same as [[Latin]] adjective <i> fortunatus </i> , meaning "blest," or "fortunate."

<p> Fortuna´tus, a disciple of Corinth, of [[Roman]] birth or origin, as his name indicates, who visited [[Paul]] at Ephesus, and returned, along with Stephanus and Achaicus, in charge of that Apostle's first [[Epistle]] to the [[Corinthian]] church, B.C. 59 . </p> | |||

<p> (Graecized Φορτούνατος ), a disciple of Corinth, of [[Roman]] birth or origin, as his name indicates, who visited [[Paul]] at Ephesus, and returned, along with Stephanus and Achaicus, in charge of that apostle's first [[Epistle]] to the [[Corinthian]] [[Church]] (1 Corinthians 16:17), A.D. 54. Some have supposed that these three Corinthian brethren were "they which are of the house of Chloe" (οἱ Χλοῆς ), alluded to in 1 Corinthians 1:11; but the language of irony, in which the apostle must in that case be interpreted in chapter 16 as speaking of their presence, would become sarcasm too cutting for so tender a heart as Paul's to have uttered among his valedictions. "The household of Stephanas" is mentioned in chapter 1:16 as having been baptized by Paul himself: perhaps [[Fortunatus]] and [[Achaicus]] may have been members of that household. There is a Fortunatus mentioned at the end of Clement's first Epistle to the Corinthians, who was possibly the same person. </p> | |||

<p> A character in a popular German legend, who possessed a <i> purse </i> out of which he was able to provide himself with money as often as he needed it and <i> cap </i> , by putting on of which, and wishing to be anywhere, he was straightway there; these he got, by his own free election and choice, conceded to him by the [[Upper]] Powers, and they proved a curse to him rather than a blessing, he finding out when too late that "the god [[Wish]] is not the true God." </p> | |||
