This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
Ver. 14. Alexander the coppersmith] Who was once martyrio propinquus, saith Calvin, near unto martyrdom in Paul’s cause, Act_19:33. A glorious professor may become a furious persecutor. "Let him that stands take heed lest he fall."
The Lord reward him] This is neither a curse nor a railing speech, saith an ancient, but a prediction well beseeming an apostle, that avenged not himself, but rather gave place to wrath, Rom_12:19. (Author quaest. apud Just. Mar.)
