χαλκ-εύς G5471
coppersmith, metalworker, blacksmith (one who works with metal)
This noun denotes a worker in copper, bronze, or other metals—a coppersmith or blacksmith. Paul mentions 'Alexander the coppersmith' in his second letter to Timothy, warning that this individual 'did me great harm' and adding that 'the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.' The warning serves both to alert Timothy to a specific dangerous opponent and to express Paul's confidence that divine justice will prevail. In the ancient world, metalworkers were essential craftsmen, but this particular artisan used his position or influence to oppose Paul's ministry.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A metalworker, specifically a coppersmith or blacksmith. Paul names 'Alexander the coppersmith (chalkeus)' in 2 Timothy 4:14, warning: 'he did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.' The multilingual glosses—Spanish 'herrero,' German 'Schmied,' English 'coppersmith'—identify the trade. Whether Alexander opposed Paul through public accusations, business influence, or other means is unclear, but the mention serves as both warning to Timothy and expression of trust in divine justice. 1×
