Colossians 4:7

All my affairs (ta kat eme panta). "All the things relating to me." The accusative case the object of gnwrisei. The same idiom in Acts 25:14; Philippians 1:2.

Tychicus (Tuxikov). Mentioned also in Ephesians 6:21 as the bearer of that Epistle and with the same verb gnwrisei (future active of gnwrizw) and with the same descriptive epithet as here (o agaphtov adelfov kai pistov diakonov en Kuriw, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord) except that here we have also kai sundoulov (and fellow-servant). Abbott suggests that Paul adds sundoulov because he had used it of Epaphras in Colossians 1:7. Perhaps pistov goes with both substantives and means faithful to Paul as well as to Christ.
