2 Timothy / Question
Question source
2 Timothy
Paul says that at his first defense no one came to stand by him, but all deserted him in 2 Timothy 4:16. He then says the Lord stood by him and strengthened him so the message might be fully proclaimed in 2 Timothy 4:17. He adds confidence that the Lord will rescue him and bring him safely into the heavenly kingdom in 2 Timothy 4:18.
16At my first defense, no one took my part, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
17But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me to his heavenly kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
