Colossians 4:8

Exhortations Regarding Fellow Workers

⁷ Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me. ⁸ And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts. ⁹ And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.
