Contextual Overview

14Do all things without murmurings and deliberations, 15that you may become blameless and pure children of God, unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as luminaries in the world, 16holding forth the word of life, for rejoicing to me in regard to [the] Day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor did I labor in vain; 17but if I also am poured forth on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and am glad with you all, 18because of this you also rejoice and are glad with me. 19And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timotheus to you quickly, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you, 20for I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for the things concerning you, 21for the whole seek their own things, not the things of Christ Jesus, 22and you know his proof, that as a child [serves] a father, he served with me in regard to the good news; 23I indeed hope to send him, when I may see through the things concerning me—immediately;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Him therefore I hope to send presently,.... For the reasons now given:

so soon as I shall see how it will go with me; whether he should be released from his bonds or not; whether he should live or die; whether he should be set free, or be called to suffer martyrdom for the sake of Christ; for he expected, that the matter would be determined in a very short time, when, be it at it would, Timothy would be spared.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

So soon as I shall see how it will go with me - Paul was a prisoner at Rome, and there was not a little uncertainty whether he would be condemned or acquitted. He was, it is commonly supposed, in fact released on the first trial; 2 Timothy 4:16. He now felt that he would soon be able to send Timothy to them at any rate. If he was condemned and put to death, he would, of course, have no further occasion for his services, and if he was released from his present troubles and dangers, he could spare him for a season to go and visit the churches.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 23. How it will go with me. — The apostle was now in captivity; his trial appears to have been approaching, and of its issue he was doubtful; though he seems to have had a general persuasion that he should be spared, see Philippians 2:19; Philippians 2:24.
