And how I do - How I employ my time, and what fruit there is of my apostolical labors.
Tychicus, a beloved brother - We learn, from Acts 20:4 , that Tychicus was of Asia, and that he was a useful companion of St. Paul. See the note on Acts 20:4 .
This same person, and with the same character and commendation, is mentioned in the Epistle to the Colossians, Colossians 4:7 . He is mentioned also in Titus 3:12 , and in 2 Timothy 4:12 ; from all these places it is evident that he was a person in whom the apostle had the highest confidence, and that he was a very eminent minister of Christ.
