Sep 17, 2021 · He is depicted as a young man dressed in a purple garment, holding what appears to be a scroll. That is not the impression I get from the book of Philippians. Epaphroditus was a veteran, a battle tested soldier, who gambled his life for the sake of the gospel. Philippians 2:25-30; 4:18. Yet I consider it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus ...
