Robertson Word Pictures - Colossians 4:7 - 4:7


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

All my affairs (ta kat' eme panta). “All the things relating to me.” The accusative case the object of gnōrisei. The same idiom in Act 25:14; Phi 1:2.

Tychicus (Tuchikos). Mentioned also in Eph 6:21 as the bearer of that Epistle and with the same verb gnōrisei (future active of gnōrizō) and with the same descriptive epithet as here (ho agapētos adelphos kai pistos diakonos en Kuriōi, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord) except that here we have also kai sundoulos (and fellow-servant). Abbott suggests that Paul adds sundoulos because he had used it of Epaphras in Col 1:7. Perhaps pistos goes with both substantives and means faithful to Paul as well as to Christ.
