This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work; faith riseth upon experiences, 1Sa_17:37,46 2Co_1:10. By evil work may be understood any sin into which Paul might fall through temptation; or the evil works of others, designing mischief to the apostle. He expresseth his faith in this term or various signification, to learn us how to exercise our faith in God in an evil time, viz. believing that God will either deliver us from our danger, or from sinning by reason of our danger, for we have no foundation for out faith to believe that God will at all times keep us from evils of suffering.
And will preserve me unto is heavenly kingdom; and that he will save us, and preserve us, if not as to a temporal life, yet to a celestial, honourable, glorious inheritance.
To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen; this is a usual form of giving praise to God, desiring all honour might be given to him.
