Silas, Silvan & Their Companions

Paul mentions Siilas in Acts 15:40-41 – he was a travelling companion of the Apostle, and later became bishop of Corinth. Silvan became bishop of Thessalonica. Crescents another of Paul’s companions (2Tim 4:10) became bishop of Chalcedon, where he was a successful missionary. Finally, Paul praises Epenetus (Rom. 16.5) who became bishop of Carthage, a confessor, and missionary.
