Philemon 1:23
There salute thee eEpaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
Ἀσπάζονταί σε Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,

Colossians 1:7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
We read of this Epaphras, Col 1:7, where he is called Paul’s fellow servant, and a faithful minister of Christ: he was with Paul at Rome, Col 4:12, but there is no mention of him as a prisoner; but now he was a fellow prisoner with Paul, either in the same place, or upon the same account.
