Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Alexander the coppersmith (Alecandrov o xalkeuv). Old word, only here in N.T., for metal-worker (copper, iron, gold, etc.). Possibly the one in 1:20, but not the one in Acts 19:33 f. unless he afterwards became a Christian.
Did me much evil (moi kaka enedeicato). Evidently he had some personal dislike towards Paul and possibly also he was a Gnostic.
Will render (apodwsei). Future active of the same verb used in verse II Timothy 4:8, but with a very different atmosphere.
