# fellow worker and fellow soldier
2016-02-23 02:42:46 +00:00
Here Paul is speaking of Epaphroditus as if he were a soldier. He means that Epaphroditus is trained and is dedicated to serving God, no matter how great the hardship he must suffer. Alternate translation: "fellow believer who works and struggles along with us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
