Colossians 4:8

6 Let your speech always be ^awith grace, ^bseasoned with salt, ^cthat you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Final Greetings

7 ^aTychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

8 ^aI am sending him to you for this very purpose, that¹ he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

9 with ^aOnesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.

10 ^aAristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with ^bMark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),

11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.

Colossians 4:8

That he might know your estate - Instead of ̔ ͅ ̔ , that He may know Your affairs, ABD*FG, many others, with the Ethiopic, Itala, Theodoret, and Damascenus, read ̔ ̔ , that Ye may know Our affairs; which is probably the true reading. Tychicus was sent to them, not to know their affairs, but with Onesimus, to carry this epistle and make the apostle' s state known to them, and comfort their hearts by the good news which he brought. The next verse confirms this meaning.
