2 TIMOTHY 4:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 3
“Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:”
Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. — The warning: Alexander's brass-worker antagonism (hypenantios) toward Paul will face divine retaliation (apodidōmi kata ta erga autou). Justice rests with God.
