That Ye also - as I have been discussing things relating to you, that ye also may know about me, (cf. Colossians 4:7). 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 (; ; ). 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.
