Subjects in this Topic:
DEMAS (= Demetrius?).—A companion of St. Paul in his first Roman imprisonment (Col_4:14, Phm_1:24). There is some indication (cf. Php_2:20 f.) that even then Demas was not altogether trusted; and later he forsook the Apostle, ‘having loved this present world’ (2Ti_4:10). He was apparently a native of Thessalonica.
