Асинкрит

New Testament

Asyncritus was a believer in Rome to whom Paul sent greetings (Rom.16.14).

Asyncritus was a believer in Rome whom Paul greeted in his letter to the Romans (Romans 16:14). He is listed alongside Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, and Hermas, and 'the brothers and sisters with them,' suggesting these five men may have been leaders of a house church or a distinct fellowship within the broader Roman Christian community. The name Asyncritus, meaning 'incomparable,' was known in the Greco-Roman world and is attested in Roman inscriptions. He is otherwise entirely unknown, and his mention is limited to this single greeting in the most theologically substantive of Paul's letters.
