Erastus

Erastus was a companion of the apostle Paul, mentioned in several New Testament passages. He was sent by Paul, along with Timothy, from Ephesus to Macedonia (Acts 19:22). In his letter to the Romans, Paul mentions that Erastus, the city treasurer, sends his greetings (Romans 16:23), indicating that he held an important position in Corinth. Later, in his second letter to Timothy, Paul writes that Erastus stayed in Corinth (2 Timothy 4:20). These references suggest that Erastus was a trusted associate of Paul and played a significant role in the early church.
