He is referenced in the Epistle to the Romans, specifically in <a href="/romans/16-23.htm">Romans 16:23</a>. The verse reads: "Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you" (Berean Standard Bible). This brief mention places Quartus among the early Christian community in Corinth, where the Apostle Paul was writing his letter to the Romans.<br><br><b>Historical Context</b><br><br>The Epistle to the Romans is one of Paul's most theologically significant letters, written around A.D. 57 during his third missionary journey. At this time, Paul was in Corinth, a major city in the Roman Empire known for its diverse population and significant trade activity. The church in Corinth was a vibrant community, and Paul's letter to the Romans was intended to prepare the way for his visit to Rome and to address theological issues pertinent to both Jewish and Gentile believers.<br><br><b>Role and Significance</b><br><br>Quartus is referred to as "our brother," indicating his status as a fellow believer and member of the early Christian community. While the Bible does not provide further details about his life or role in the church, his inclusion in the greetings of <a href="/bsb/romans/16.htm">Romans 16</a> suggests that he was a respected member of the Corinthian church. The mention of Quartus alongside notable figures such as Gaius and Erastus implies that he was part of the network of believers who supported Paul's ministry.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The brief mention of Quartus highlights the communal and interconnected nature of the early Christian church. Despite the lack of detailed information about him, Quartus's inclusion in the epistle serves as a reminder of the many individuals who contributed to the spread of Christianity in its formative years. His presence in the text underscores the importance of every member in the body of Christ, regardless of their prominence or the extent of their recorded contributions.<br><br><b>Quartus in Early Christian Tradition</b><br><br>While the biblical text provides limited information about Quartus, some early Christian traditions and writings have attempted to fill in the gaps. However, these accounts are not considered canonical and should be approached with caution. Some traditions suggest that Quartus may have gone on to become a bishop or leader in the early church, but these claims lack historical verification.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Quartus remains a minor yet intriguing figure within the New Testament narrative. His mention in <a href="/romans/16-23.htm">Romans 16:23</a> serves as a testament to the diverse and widespread nature of the early Christian community, as well as the interconnectedness of believers across different regions. As with many lesser-known biblical figures, Quartus's life and contributions, though not extensively documented, played a part in the foundational years of the Christian faith.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Quartus</span><p>fourth<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Quartus</span><p>(<i>fourth</i>), a Christian of Corinth, (<a href="/romans/16-23.htm">Romans 16:23</a>) said to have been one of the seventy disciples, and afterward bishop of Berytus.
