‏ Colossians 4:7

 All my affairs ( τα κατ' εμε παντα ). "All the things relating to me." The accusative case the object of  γνωρισε. The same idiom in Ac 25:14; Php 1:2.

 Tychicus ( Τυχικος ). Mentioned also in Eph 6:21 as the bearer of that Epistle and with the same verb  γνωρισε (future active of  γνωριζω ) and with the same descriptive epithet as here ( ο αγαπητος αδελφος κα πιστος διακονος εν Κυριω, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord) except that here we have also  κα συνδουλος (and fellow-servant). Abbott suggests that Paul adds  συνδουλος because he had used it of Epaphras in 1:7. Perhaps  πιστος goes with both substantives and means faithful to Paul as well as to Christ.
