Paul has planned to send Titus a replacement. When the replacement arrives Titus was to meet Paul in Nicopolis. When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, —Artemas is not mentioned anywhere else in the bible but the impression is that he is a companion of Paul, of whom Titus would be familiar. Tychicus is mentioned several times in the Bible and was a trusted messenger for Paul. He had delivered the epistles to the Colossian and Ephesian churches. All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord (Colossians 4:7): But 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): And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus . be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: —Paul’s love for Titus prompted him to desire to spend time with him. There were three cities named Nicopolis in the Roman Empire. The most prominent of these was on the western shore of Greece and would have served well as a winter resort. for I have determined there to winter. —It was more difficult to travel in winter months therefore Paul decided to spend the winter with his faithful friend. Nicopolis was in a warm climate making it more comfortable to an old and feeble Paul.
