Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 4:14 Go To 2 Timothy 4

The Lord will render to him. We read shall render, not only in the Latin and Syriac, but also in divers Greek manuscripts which Dr. Wells again prefers before the ordinary Greek copies, in which we read, The Lord render or reward him, as in the Protestant translation. If that was the true reading, we must take the words by way of a prophecy, and not as an imprecation or curse. (Witham)
