Philippians2:24
24 But I trust in the Lord , that I also my self shall come shortly .
So he expresseth his strong perswasion as the word translate trust (being seldom used, but when the thing trusted imports the object) in the Lord, i. e. Jesus, whom he doth absolutely and eminently call Lord, being so highly exalted above all others, v. 9. not onely here, but elsewhere, v. 29. ch. 3.1. & 4.1, 4, 10. on whom he doth wholly depend, and to whom he doth submit for the issue.
Before he had suggested his perswasion of abiding with them, ch. 1.25. and here that he might satisfie them he had not chang'd his mind, he adds for their comfort, that they might not be discouraged in their sufferings, what apprehensions he had after a while, of being set at liberty, (if God pleas'd) and if so, he would have them conceive, soon after he had done what was necessary at Rome, (for him who had care of all the Churches) he designed to follow Timothy to them.
