En los saludos finales de Pablo, “Tichîco, hermano amado y fiel ministro en el Señor” es mencionado. Su nombre aparece cinco veces en el Nuevo Testamento (Hechos 20:44And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. (Acts 20:4); Efesios 6:2121But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: (Ephesians 6:21); Colosenses 4:77All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: (Colossians 4:7); 2 Timoteo 4:1212And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. (2 Timothy 4:12); Tito 3:1212When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. (Titus 3:12)). Su doble misión en este momento era informar a los santos de Éfeso acerca del estado del apóstol y animar sus corazones.
Pablo termina con sus saludos habituales. Desea que “paz”, “amor” y “gracia” sea con ellos.
