Colossians 4:7

Personal Greetings and Instructions

4:7 Tychicus, a dear brother, faithful minister, and fellow slave ¹  in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. ² 

Colossians 4:9

4:9 I sent him ³  with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. ⁴  They will tell ⁵  you about everything here.

[4:7]  ¹ tn See the note on “fellow slave” in 1:7.

[4:7]  ² tn Grk “all things according to me.”

[4:9]  ³ 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.

[4:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “is of you.”

[4:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “will make known to you.” This has been simplified in the translation to “will tell.”
