Man living at the time of the New Testament
Achaicus, along with Stephanas and Fortunatus, visited Paul from Corinth.
🗺 Places mentioned alongside Achaicus on the map →
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.

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
