Colossians 4:8-9

4:8 I sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are doing ¹  and that he may encourage your hearts. 4:9 I sent him ²  with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. ³  They will tell ⁴  you about everything here.

[4:8]  ¹ tn Grk “the things concerning us.”

[4:9]  ² 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]  ³ tn Grk “is of you.”

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