The Realities of Ministry
Commentators note that this verse provides a glimpse into the practical, human side of Paul's ministry. Erastus had a home and responsibilities in Corinth, and Trophimus, a close companion, fell ill. This reminds us that ministry involves real-life logistics, relationships, and the unfortunate reality of sickness, humanizing the apostolic team.
