Tychicus--(See on Eph 6:2).
who is a beloved brother--rather, "the beloved brother"; the article "the" marks him as well known to them. |

| All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you - See these verses explained in the notes at Eph 6:21-22. |

Tychicus
Mentioned Act 20:4; Eph 6:21; Ti2 4:12; Tit 3:12.
Minister (διάκονος)
Probably to Paul himself. Compare Act 19:22; Act 20:4. Scarcely in the official sense of deacon.
Fellow-servant (σύνδουλος)
Used by Paul only here and Col 1:7, of Epaphras. By this term he designates Tychicus as, in common with himself, a servant of Jesus Christ. Probably not with a strict, but with a quasi official reference. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| All my state shall Tychicus - See the note on Eph 6:21. Tychicus well knew the apostle's zeal and perseverance in preaching the Gospel, his sufferings on that account, his success in converting both Jews and Gentiles, and the converts which were made in Caesar's household; he could give these to the Colossians in ample detail, and some of them it would not have been prudent to commit to writing. |
