‏ 2 Timothy 4:17-18

v. 17: Even though everyone else left, God stood by Paul and gave him strength. God helped Paul speak boldly so that the message of the gospel could be heard by everyone, even important leaders. Paul says he was rescued from great danger—possibly from the emperor Nero or another judge. He trusts that God will continue to deliver him from every evil and will bring him safely to His heavenly kingdom. Paul gives all the glory to God for his deliverance and hope.

v. 18: Paul praises God, saying, To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. He recognizes that all his help and hope come from the Lord, and he gives thanks for God’s faithfulness.
