So he sent into Macedonia . . . Timotheus and Erastus--as his pioneers, in part to bring "them into remembrance of his ways which were in Christ" (Co1 4:17; Co1 16:10), partly to convey his mind on various matters. After a brief stay he was to return (Co1 16:11). It is very unlikely that this Erastus was "the chamberlain of the city" of Corinth, of that name (Rom 16:23). he himself stayed in--the province of Asia for a season--that is, at Ephesus, its chief city. (Asia is mentioned in contrast with Macedonia in the previous clause).
