2 Timothy 4:16

2 Timothy 4:16

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.

18 ^aAnd the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. ^bTo Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

Come Before Winter

19 Greet ^aPrisca and Aquila, and the household of ^bOnesiphorus.

20 ^aErastus stayed in Corinth, but ^bTrophimus I have left in Miletus sick.

II Timothy 4:16 At my first answer. This seems to point to a first hearing of the case, which had then been adjourned, perhaps to wait for witnesses. Then, as now, cases were often postponed, or there were second trials. No man stood with me. None of his brethren dared to appear in his support. It was the last year of the reign of Nero, and times were terrible.
