Paul, being unable to travel, might have been seeking to ensure that the Colossians maintain connections with his co-workers. This would help them not to fall for the enticements of the false teachers. 4:7 Tychicus was from the province of Asia, where Colosse was located (Acts 20:4 ). He worked with Paul especially in that province (Eph 6:21 ; 2 Tim 4:12 ). He was later sent to work with Titus in Crete (Titus 3:12 ). Tychicus probably carried this letter along with the letters known as Ephesians and Philemon.
