Colossians 4:8-9

Context
4:8 I sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are doing 1  and that he may encourage your hearts. 4:9 I sent him 2  with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. 3  They will tell 4  you about everything here.

1 tn Grk “the things concerning us.”

2 tn The Greek sentence continues v. 9 with the phrase “with Onesimus,” but this is awkward in English, so the verb “I sent” was inserted and a new sentence started at the beginning of v. 9 in the translation.

3 tn Grk “is of you.”

4 tn Grk “will make known to you.” This has been simplified in the translation to “will tell.”
