A.T. Robertson Commentary
"The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen." — 2 Timothy 4:18 (ASV)
Will deliver me (ρυσετα με). Future middle. Recall the Lord's Prayer. Paul is not afraid of death. He will find his triumph in death (Php 1:21f.).
Unto his heavenly kingdom (εις την βασιλειαν αυτου την επουρανιον). The future life of glory as in 1 Corinthians 15:24,50. He will save (σωσε, effective future) me there finally and free from all evil.
To whom be the glory (ω η δοξα). No verb in the Greek. Paul's final doxology, his Swan Song, to Christ as in Ro 9:5; 16:27.
