This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But I trust in the Lord; so he expresseth his strong persuasion, as the word we translate trust, being seldom used, but when the thing trusted imports the object.
In the Lord; i.e. Jesus, whom he doth absolutely and eminently call Lord, being so highly exalted above all others, Phi_2:9, not only here, but elsewhere, Phi_2:29 3:1 4:1,4,10; on whom he doth wholly depend, aud to whom he doth submit for the issue.
That I also myself shall come shortly: before he had suggested his persuasion of abiding with them, Phi_1:25, and here, that he might satisfy them he had not changed his mind, he adds for their comfort, that they might not be discouraged in their sufferings, what apprehensions he had, after a while, of being set at liberty (if God pleased); and if so, he would have them conceive, soon after he had done what was necessary at Rome, (for him who had care of all the churches), he designed to follow Timothy to them.
