About Colossians 4Masters are to treat their servants justly, "knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven." Paul asks the Colossians to continue in prayer and pray for him in his bonds, to "walk in wisdom toward them that are without," and to let their speech be "alway with grace, seasoned with salt." He sends Tychicus and Onesimus with news, passes on greetings from Aristarchus, Mark, Epaphras, Luke and others, and signs, "Remember my bonds."
