2 Timothy 1:18

     18. grant unto him—as well as "unto his house" (2Ti 1:16).

      the Lord—who rewards a kindness done to His disciples as if done to Himself (Mt 25:45).

      offrom the Lord; "the Lord" is emphatically put instead of "from Himself," for solemnity and emphasis (2Th 3:5).

      in how many things—"how many acts of ministry he rendered."

      unto me—omitted in the oldest manuscripts, so that the "ministered" may include services rendered to others as well as to Paul.

      very well—rather as Greek, "Thou knowest better" (than I can tell thee, seeing that thou art more of a regular resident at Ephesus).
