Archippos

Archippos is a figure mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible. He is identified as a fellow worker with the Apostle Paul, and a recipient of Paul's personal epistles. Specifically, Archippos is addressed in the opening of the Epistle to Philemon, where Paul refers to him as "our dear friend and fellow worker" (Philemon 1:1). He is also mentioned in the Epistle to the Colossians, where Paul instructs the church in Colossae to tell Archippos to "complete the ministry you have received in the Lord" (Colossians 4:17).

The exact nature of Archippos's ministry or role is not explicitly detailed. However, the context of these mentions suggests he held a position of responsibility within the early Christian community. The instruction to "complete the ministry" implies he had been entrusted with a specific task or service that he was expected to fulfill. Some scholars believe he may have been an elder or minister in the church at Colossae, or possibly at Laodicea. His association with Paul and the early church leaders indicates his significance in the propagation of the Christian faith during that period.
