SILAS
]
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A
Christian
who had labored at
Corinth
, and who was there with
Paul
when he wrote the two
Epistles
to the
Thessalonians
. By comparing the following passages with the account of Paul’s second missionary journey it is evident that the
apostle
refers by this name to
SILAS
(
2 Cor. 1:19
19
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. (2 Corinthians 1:19)

;
2 Thess. 1:1
1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: (2 Thessalonians 1:1)

Peter
refers to the same person is not known (

12
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. (1 Peter 5:12)
