| II Timothy 4:6
| For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
| I am even now ready to be sacrificed.{ Ver. 6. Jam delibor, ede spendomai. See St. Chrysostom (om. th. p. 372) that sponde, libamen, is more than thusia, hostia.|} Literally, to be immolated. See Philippians 2:17. --- The time of my dissolution (literally, resolution) is at hand. This makes many judge that this letter was written during his last imprisonment; but the sense perhaps may be, that being old and worn out with labours, he could not live long. (Witham)
