Commentary on Colossians 4:9

Theological / Devotional

Onesimus. A run away slave from Colossae who had been converted in Rome through the labors of Paul (see on Philemon 10).

Faithful and beloved. Formerly Onesimus had been anything but trustworthy and reliable. Now his life has been completely changed.

One of you. Onesimus was from Colossae. As a Christian he now belonged to the brotherhood of believers (see on Gal. 3:28; cf. Philemon 10—12).

They shall make known. Paul entrusts to him, together with Tychicus, the message that is to be delivered officially, showing that Paul had full confidence in his conversion and integrity.
