John Gill Commentary Philippians 2:24

"but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly." — Philippians 2:24 (ASV)

But I trust in the Lord

The Syriac version reads, "in my Lord":

that I also myself shall come shortly :

this he adds, partly to let them see, that he still retained a secret hope and persuasion in his own mind of a deliverance, though he could not be certain of it, how things would go with him; and partly, that he might not be thought to put them off with sending Timothy to them; for notwithstanding that, his intention still was, should he be released, to pay them a visit himself. The Alexandrian copy adds, "to you": so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions.
