About Andronicus
A Christian greeted by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans (16:7). He is not mentioned elsewhere. Paul called Andronicus his kinsman. The word could mean fellow countryman, fellow Jew, member of Paul’s own family, or other relative. Andronicus may also have been a fellow prisoner for the cause of Christ. He could have perhaps even been in the same prison with Paul (2 Corinthians 6:4–5; 11:23). Paul described him as important among the apostles and recognized him respectfully as an “older” Christian.
