ONESIPHORUS - O>@ - (bringing profit) is named twice only in the New Testament, viz. ( kjv@2Timothy:1:16-18) and kjv@2Timothy:4:19 Paul mentions him in terms of grateful love as having a noble courage and generosity in his behalf, amid his trials as a prisoner at Rome, when others from whom he expected better things had deserted him. ( kjv@2Timothy:4:16) Probably other members of the family were also active Christians. ( kjv@2Timothy:4:19) It is evident from ( kjv@2Timothy:1:18) that Onesiphorus had his home at Ephesus. (A.D. 64.)
