50 — Person: Epaphroditus

Number: 50

Person: Epaphroditus

Action: Bringing the gift from Philippi to Paul (nearly dying in service)

Object: Gift / service

Scripture connection: Philippians 2:25 — I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need. Philippians 4:18 — I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent.

Memory hook: 50 = Philippians; Epaphroditus carried the Philippians' gift to Paul (Phil 2:25). The number 50 is the brother who risked his life for the work of Christ.

Why this number? 50 = Philippians; Epaphroditus (Phil 2:25) (50). Epaphroditus brought the gift to Paul; the number 50 ties him to the letter to the Philippians.
