2 Timothy4:18
18. And the Lord shall, &c.--Hope draws its conclusions from the past to the future [Bengel].
will preserve me--literally, "will save" (Psa 22:21), "will bring me safe to." Jesus is the Lord and the Deliverer (Php 3:20; 1Th 1:10): He saves from evil; He gives good things.
heavenly kingdom--Greek, "His kingdom which is a heavenly one."
to whom, &c.--Greek, "to whom be the glory unto the ages of ages." The very hope produces a doxology: how much greater will be the doxology which the actual enjoyment shall produce! [Bengel].
