A:

Paul mentions Archippus in Philemon, indicating that he was one of a small group of Christians who met for worship in the house of Philemon. He first describes Philemon as 'dearly beloved', then Apphia as 'our beloved' and finally Archippus as 'our fellowsoldier'. This tells us nothing about the level of personal relationship between Paul and Archippus.

Archippus is also mentioned in Colossians 4:17, which describes him as a newly appointed minister of the church at Colosse. However, Colossians was a pseudepigraphical book written during the seventies, long after the death of Paul, and the reference to Archippus might have been a personal touch added to provide apparent authenticity to the epistle.

The Apostolic Constitutions, written in the fourth century and falsely attributed to Clement, says that Archippus was the first bishop of Laodicea in Phrygia. This is unlikely, as the role of bishop was not introduced until the second century.

What is the correct grammar - Apostle Paul or apostle Paul?

OpinionI would say Apostle Paul wherever I use 'Apostle' as a title, in the same way as I would say Mr Smith, with 'Mr' capitalised. Less frequently, I would write 'apostle' uncapitalised if I did not intend it as a title, for example where 'apostle' is the subject of the sentence, and Paul is addressed. Use capitals to be on the safe side.
