Commentary

Commentary on Colossians 4:7

Theological / Devotional

All my state. Or, “all the matters pertaining to me” (cf. Phil. 1:12). Paul presumed that the Colossians would be interested in the details concerning his imprisonment.

Tychicus. See on Eph. 6:21.

Fellowservant. A title of honor, for it places Tychicus on a footing with Paul. This item concerning Tychicus is not mentioned in Eph. 6:21.

In the Lord. It was within the program and influence of Christ that his ministry was exercised. The Master’s will was the surrounding and pervading element that bound all His servants together. Tychicus was doubtless happy to be bound to such a Master, to fellowship with His servants, and to hasten on His errands.
