And I was (F)rescued out of (G)the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will (H)save me unto His (I)heavenly kingdom; (J)to [a]Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

  1. 2 Timothy 4:18 Lit Whom

16 No one took my side at my first court hearing. Everyone deserted me. I hope that God doesn’t hold it against them! 17 But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that the entire message would be preached through me and so all the nations could hear it. I was also rescued from the lion’s mouth! 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil action and will save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and always. Amen.
