But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
That Ye also - as I have been discussing things relating to you, that ye also may know about me, (cf. Colossians 4:7-8). Neander takes it, 'ye also,' as well as the Colossians: presuming the letter to Colosse was written first.
How I do - how I fare.
Tychicus - an Asiatic: so a fit messenger for bearing the respective letters to Ephesus and Colesse (Acts 20:4; 2 Timothy 4:12; Titus 3:12). Tradition states that he became Bishop of Chalcedon.
A - Greek, 'the beloved brother,' etc.
Minister - i:e., servant.
In the Lord - in the Lord's work.
