Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

4:12 Tychicus was apparently a Greek (implied in Col 4:7-8, 10-11) from Asia Minor (see also Acts 20:4; Eph 6:21-22; Col 4:7-8; Titus 3:12). He was possibly going to Ephesus to deliver the present letter and take over for Timothy (assuming that Timothy was in Ephesus; see study notes on 2 Tim 4:13, 19).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
but
Here the word But introduces the next thing that Paul wants to write about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next idea, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Now]
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
ἀπέστειλα
˱I˲_sent_out
Here Paul could be using the past tense to indicate: (1) that he sent Tychicus when he sent this letter to Timothy in Ephesus. It may be that Tychicus is the one who carried this letter to Timothy at Ephesus. In this case, Paul had not yet sent Tychicus when he wrote this sentence. Consider what tense would be natural in your language for this situation. Alternate translation: [I am about to send] or [I am sending] (2) that he sent Tychicus to Ephesus before he wrote this letter. Alternate translation: [I have sent]
