Epaphroditos is the personal name of the man sent to the Philippians and identified as the bearer of their gifts.

The term functions as a personal name in both occurrences: the man sent to the Philippians in Philippians 2:25 and the one from whom gifts were received in Philippians 4:18.

   In Philippians 2:25, the accusative singular form names the person Paul deems it necessary to send, whom the APB renders as "Epaphroditus" and describes as brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, apostle, and minister. In Philippians 4:18, the genitive singular form identifies the person from whom gifts were received; the APB renders the clause "having received from Epaphroditus the gifts from you."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Epaphroditus" in both verses: as the person sent in Philippians 2:25 and as the person from whom gifts were received in Philippians 4:18. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
