Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


ARCHIPPUS (Phm_1:2, Col_4:17) was evidently a member of the household of Philemon of Colossæ, probably his son. He shared his spirit, since St. Paul, referring doubtless to his aid in missionary operations in those parts, styles him ‘our fellow-soldier.’ He had been entrusted with some important office in the Church, whether at Colossæ, or, as Lightfoot, in view of the preceding context, more probably supposes, at the neighbouring town of Laodicea; and, considering the spiritual atmosphere of the place (Rev_3:14-19), one is not surprised that the Apostle should have thought it needful to exhort him to zeal in his ministry.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


A Christian minister at Colossae, whom Paul calls "our fellow soldier," namely, in the Christian warfare (2Ti_2:3). A member of Philemon's family, possibly his son, whence Paul includes him in the same salutation with Philemon and Apphia, and the church in Philemon's house (Phm_1:2). In both the Epistle to the Colossians (Col_4:17) and that to Philemon (which accompanied it) Archippus is mentioned. The Colossians are charged," Say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill (make full proof of) it." Probably a self sparing and less zealous spirit betrayed itself in Archippus. Laymen may admonish clergy of their duty, when scriptural faithfulness requires it and they admonish in meekness. Martyred, according to tradition, at Chonse, near Laodicea. Archippus with some reason is supposed to be the angel of Laodicea, whom the Lord, like Paul, reproves (Rev_3:14-21).

Archip'pus. (master of the horse). A Christian teacher in Colossae, Col_4:17, called by St. Paul his "fellow soldier," Phm 1:2. He was probably a member of Philemon's family. (A.D. 62).
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ar-kip?us (Ἀρχίππος, Archı́ppos): Addressed by Paul in his letter to Philem, as ?our fellow-soldier?; probably a member of Philem's family circle, holding some official position in the church (Col_4:17; Phm_1:2). See APPHIA. The tradition that he was one of the seventy disciples, became bishop of Laodicea and later became a martyr, seems to have little historical foundation.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.


Archip?pus, a Christian minister, whom St. Paul calls his 'fellow-soldier' in Phm_1:2, and whom he exhorts to renewed activity in Col_4:17. From the latter reference it would seem that Archippus had exercised the office of Evangelista sometimes at Ephesus, sometimes elsewhere; and that he finally resided at Colosse, and there discharged the office of presiding presbyter or bishop when St. Paul wrote to the Colossian church.

Archippus
(῎Αρχιππος, “master of the horse"), a Christian minister, whom the Apostle Paul calls his “fellow-soldier” (Phm_1:2), and whom he exhorts to renewed activity (Col_4:17), A.D. 57. As the former epistle, which concerns a private matter, is addressed to him jointly with Philemon and Apphia, and as “the Church in their house” is also addressed, it seems necessary to infer that he was a member of Philemon's family. From the latter reference (so Jerome, Theodoret, and OEcumenius) it would seem that Archippus had exercised the office of evangelist sometimes at Ephesus, sometimes elsewhere (at Laodicea, according to the Apostolical Constitutions, 7:46), and that he finally resided at Colossae, and there discharged the office of presiding presbyter or bishop when Paul wrote to the Colossian Church (see Dietelmaier, De Archippo, Altdorf. 1751). The exhortation given to him in this epistle has, without sufficient grounds, been construed into a rebuke for past negligence. Tradition states that he had been one of Jesus's 70 disciples, and that he suffered martyrdom at Chonae, near Loadicea (Menalog. Graec. 1, 206).
