2 Timothy 4:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Alexander the ·metalworker [or coppersmith; 1 Tim. 1:20] did many ·harmful [evil] things against me. The Lord will ·punish [repay] him for what he did [Ps. 28:4]. ¹⁵ You also should be ·careful that he does not hurt you [^Lon your guard], because he ·fought strongly against [strongly opposed] our ·teaching [message; words].

¹⁶ ·The first time I defended myself [or At my first defense/court hearing], no one ·helped me [appeared on my behalf]; everyone ·left [deserted] me. May ·they be forgiven [^Lit not be counted/reckoned against them].
