2 Timothy 4:15

13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.

14 ^aAlexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.

15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.

16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. ^aMay it not be charged against them.

The Lord Is Faithful

17 ^aBut the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, ^bso that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered ^cout of the mouth of the lion.

2 Timothy 4:15

Of whom be thou ware also - It seems that this rabbin traveled about from place to place for the purpose of opposing the Gospel, the Jews putting him forward, as it is said, Acts 19:33.

He hath greatly withstood our words - Has been a constant opposer of the Christian doctrines.
