"'The :books' would be papyrus rolls in use for ordinary purposes, while • the more costly 'parchments' Contained, in all likeli- hood, portions of the Hebrew Scrip- tures, Alexander the coppersmith' did me much evil. This may be the Alexand- er, a turncoat Christian, whom Paul condemned in 1 Tinx. 1:20, and poss- ibly it is, the Alexander of Acts 19: 33,34, Whom the Jews, in the .theatre riot at Ephesus, vainly put forward to deny for then. any connection with the hated apostles. In the opinion of the present writer, all three Alexand- ers were different persons; Alexander was a very contrnc•,n name. The Lord will render him recording to his works. That being the case, Paul has no need to heap maledictions oe his head. • Of whom do thoti also beware; for he greatly withstood our words. This would imply that Alexander was in Rome, and had spoken bitterly against Paul at his "first defence" ntentionecl in the next verse. Timothy when he arrives in Rome, is 'to look out for this fellow, for he may lay at information against him also At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook ere. Not one of Paul's friends were willing to risk his life by acting as his ."advocate" or lawyer at the trial. May it not be laid to their account. ``Paul is at his very best in that; for it is not Paul at all who says that, but it is He speaking in }'aul who, when he also was forsaken, said,' 'Father, forgive them.'

Paul has just urged Timothy to be zealous in promoting the gospel, and the reason is that Paul, the chief of all missionaries, is soon to be taken fremr the some of his labors. He looks forward to his approaching martyrdom as the pouring of his blood as a sacrifice on God's altar. And the time of my departure is come. The word for 'tdeparture" means the breaking up of an encamp- ment, and so reminds pus that the ear- thly body is a tent, not a permanent dwelling.": A natural word for the apostolic tent -maker. to use.
