2 Timothy 2:1-5 ▼

1 Do you, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things which you heard from me, through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be competent to teach others also.

3 Suffer hardship with me , as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

4 No one, serving as a soldier, entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

5 And, if also one contends in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contends lawfully.
