2 Timothy 4:22 - Exposition

The Lord for the Lord Jesus Christ, A.V. and T.R. The Lord be with thy spirit, etc. The manuscripts vary. The salutation as it stands in the R.T. is like the versicles, "The Lord be with you. A. And with thy spirit." It is a peculiarity of the salutation here that it is double—one to Timothy personally, μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου ; the other to the Church, ἡ χάρις μεθ ὑμῶν . 1 Corinthians 16:24 exhibits another variety. Grace (see 1 Timothy 6:21 , note). The R.T. omits the "amen" at the end, as in 1 Timothy 6:21 . Thus doses our last authentic account of this great apostle; these are, perhaps, the last words of him who wrought a greater change in the condition of mankind by his speech than any man that ever lived. All honour be to his blessed memory!
