2 Timothy 4:16-18 At first no one defended me. They all abandoned me. May it not be counted against them.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ At first no one defended me. They all abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. ¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the people of the nations might hear. I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion (Satan the Devil) (great danger) (1 Peter 5:8) (Psalm 22:21) (1 Thessalonians 2:18). ¹⁸ The Lord will deliver me from every evil work. He will save me to his heavenly kingdom. To him is the glory forever and ever. Amen.
