Personal Greetings and Instructions

7 Tychicus, a dear brother, faithful minister, and fellow slave[a] in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.[b] 8 I sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are doing[c] and that he may encourage your hearts. 9 I sent him[d] with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you.[e] They will tell[f] you about everything here.

Footnotes

  1. Colossians 4:7 tn See the note on “fellow slave” in 1:7.
  2. Colossians 4:7 tn Grk “all things according to me.”
  3. Colossians 4:8 tn Grk “the things concerning us.”
  4. 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.
  5. Colossians 4:9 tn Grk “is of you.”
  6. Colossians 4:9 tn Grk “will make known to you.” This has been simplified in the translation to “will tell.”
