Silas
Silas or Silvanus (Greek: Σίλας / Σιλουανός; fl. 1st century AD) was a leading member of the Early Christian community, who accompanied Paul the Apostle on parts of his first and second missionary journeys.
==Name and etymologies==
Silas is traditionally assumed to be the Silvanus mentioned in four epistles. Some translations, including the New International Version, call him Silas in the epistles. Paul, Silas and Timothy are listed as co-authors of the two letters to the Thessalonians. Second Corinthians mentions Silas as having preached with Paul and Timothy to the church in Corinth ((2 Corinthians 1:19 )) and Peter's first epistle regards Silas as a 'faithful brother' ((1 Peter 5:12 )).
There is some disagreement over the proper form of his name: he is consistently called "Silas" in Acts, but the Latin ''Silvanus,'' which means "of the forest," is always used by Paul and in the First Epistle of Peter;〔1 Peter 5:12〕 it may be that "Silvanus" is the Romanized version of the original "Silas," or that "Silas" is the Greek nickname for "Silvanus." Silas is thus often identified with Silvanus of the Seventy. Fitzmyer points out that Silas is the Greek version of the Aramaic "Seila," a version of the Hebrew "Saul," which is attested in Palmyrene inscriptions.
