2 Timothy4:17
17 Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me , and strengthened me , that by me the preaching might be fully known , and that all the Gentiles might hear , and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lyon .
That is, did not leave me. It is opened by the next word,
he gave me courage and inward ability, so as I was able to plead, and to defend my cause.
That all men that heard me might fully know by Gods presence with me, seen in my courage, that my preaching was not from my self, or from men, but from God, the message of God by one to the sons of men.
And that al[illegible: 1 letter] the Heathen present in the Court of Rome might hear and believe:
And I was for the present delivered out of my great danger, or possibly he calls Nero (the Roman Emperor at that time) a Lyon for his barbarous cruelties.
