Ephesians 6:21

Ἴνα δὲ εἰδῆτε καὶ ὑμεῖς τὰ κατʼ ἐμέ. These two verses recur verbatim in Colossians 4:7-8 with the omission of ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε καὶ ὑμεῖς and τί πράσσω; and the addition of καὶ σύνδουλος between διάκονος and ἐν κυρίῳ.

εἰδῆτε. The change to γνῶτε in Ephesians 6:22 is curious. Is it due to the question τί πράσσω; that follows? That construction is not found with γινώσκω in St Paul. He uses it freely with οἶδα.

καὶ ὑμεῖς. You as well as the others to whom T. must come in his tour.

Τύχικος. See Lightfoot on Colossians 4:7.

ὁ�. A title given to Tychicus and Onesimus in Col. and Philem. It is applied to the Corinthians as a whole (1 Corinthians 15:58), and to the Philippians (Philippians 4:1).

πιστὸς διάκονος. Colossians 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 3:2.
