²¹ But so that you may have knowledge of my business, and how I am, Tychicus, the well-loved brother and tested servant in the Lord, will give you news of all things:

⁴ And Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia, went with him as far as Asia.

¹² Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

¹² When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

⁷ Tychicus will give you news of all my business: he is a dear brother and true servant and helper in the word;

⁸ And I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may have news of how we are, and so that he may give your hearts comfort;

⁹ And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.

¹⁵ And be certain that the long waiting of the Lord is for salvation; even as our brother Paul has said in his letters to you, from the wisdom which was given to him;

¹² I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it.

¹⁶ No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.

⁶ If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

⁷ As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,

¹² Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

¹⁷ For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.
