Fortunatus

Fortunatus [Fôrtūnā'tus]—prosperous. A believer from Corinth who, with Stephanus and Achaicus, visited Paul and refreshed his spirit by their coming [1 Cor. 16:17). A. J. Maclean comments that Fortunatus was probably baptized by Paul (1 Cor. 1:16), and that Lightfoot felt that he may well have been alive forty years later and could therefore have been the Fortunatus mentioned by Clement in his Epistle. Evidently he was among the more spiritual believers in the Corinthian Church.
