Stephanas (Template:Langx, Stephanas, meaning "crowned",[1] from Template:Langx, stephanoó, "to crown")[2] was a member of the church at Corinth, whose family were among the limited number of believers whom Paul the Apostle had baptized there[3] and whom Paul refers to as the “first-fruits of Achaia”.[4][5]
He is mentioned by Paul in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".:
- I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you
Teignmouth Shore, writing in Ellicott's Commentary for Modern Readers, suggests that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus had come from Corinth to Ephesus, probably with the letter from the Corinthians (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".) to which Paul was sending a response.[6] Paul urged the church in Corinth to "be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labours" and to "acknowledge such men".[7]
