- Colossians 4:7 tn See the note on “fellow slave” in 1:7.
- Colossians 4:7 tn Grk “all things according to me.”
- Colossians 4:8 tn Grk “the things concerning us.”
- Colossians 4:9 tn The Greek sentence continues v. 9 with the phrase “with Onesimus,” but this is awkward in English, so the verb “I sent” was inserted and a new sentence started at the beginning of v. 9 in the translation.
- Colossians 4:9 tn Grk “is of you.”
- Colossians 4:9 tn Grk “will make known to you.” This has been simplified in the translation to “will tell.”
