In Colossians 4:7, which pair is listed as fellow workers?

• A. Aristarchus and Luke
• B. Tychicus and Archippus
• C. Epaphroditus and Archippus
• D. Epaphras and Tychicus

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how Paul names people who labor with him in spreading the gospel—his fellow workers. In Colossians 4, Paul highlights partners in ministry to show the teamwork behind the mission. Tychicus is described as a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, the one he sends to update the church and encourage them. Archippus is also identified as someone with a ministry to complete, a fellow worker in the gospel whom Paul urges to carry on in his calling. Together, these two names illustrate different facets of shared gospel work—one as the messenger who carries Paul’s letters and updates, the other as a local co-laborer who must persevere in his assigned ministry. That combination makes them the best representation of fellow workers in this context.
