What does Ephesians 6:21 mean?

This verse begins the concluding section of the letter, extending through 6:24. Paul expresses a desire to offer additional information about his situation in Rome. In addition to this letter, he seems to be sending a particular person, Tychicus, to the Ephesian church. Tychicus more than likely delivered additional information, along with Paul's written greetings.

Tychicus had served with Paul, as mentioned in Acts 20:4. In addition to delivering the letter to the Ephesians, he also delivered a letter to the Colossian believers, during the same trip. There, he was called "a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord" while traveling with Onesimus (Colossians 4:7). This strongly suggests that the letter of Philemon was delivered during this same trip, around the year AD 62. Near the end of Paul's life, a few years later, he will mention sending Tychicus to Ephesus (2 Timothy 4:12) and his plans to send Tychicus to Titus (Titus 3:12). By this, we can conclude that Tychicus was a faithful helper to Paul in the final years of his life.
