Alexander the Coppersmith

Alexander the Coppersmith is a person in the New Testament, mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:14, which states, "Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds."
Paul Jeon notes that Alexander "serves almost as an anti-type to Christ," who showed grace to Paul. Aida [Besancon Spencer|Aída Besançon Spencer] suggests that while "Demas had been a passive opponent, Alexander was an active opponent".
Some scholars identify him with the Alexander of Acts 19:33, the Alexander of 1 Timothy 1:20,, or both. Others suggest, however, that he is called "the coppersmith" in order to distinguish him from others of the same name.
