2 Timothy 2:3-15

3Join me in sufferingG4777, likeG5613 a goodG2570 soldierG4757 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 4A soldierG4754 refrains fromG3762 entangling himselfG1707 inG3588 civilian affairsG4230, in orderG2443 to pleaseG700 theG3588 one who enlisted himG4758. 5LikewiseG1161G2532, aG1437G5100 competitorG118 does not receive the crownG3756G4737 unlessG1437G3361 he competesG118 according to the rulesG3545. 6TheG3588 hardworkingG2872 farmerG1092 should beG1163 the firstG4412 to partakeG3335 of theG3588 cropsG2590. 7ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I am sayingG3004, forG1063 theG3588 LordG2962 will giveG1325 youG4771 insightG4907 intoG1722 all thingsG3956.

8RememberG3421 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, descendedG1537G4690 from DavidG1138, as proclaimed byG2596 myG1473 gospelG2098, 9forG1722 whichG3739 I sufferG2553 to the extent ofG3360 being chainedG1199 likeG5613 a criminalG2557. ButG235 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 cannot be chainedG3756G1210! 10For this reasonG1223G3778 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 for the sake ofG1223 theG3588 electG1588, so thatG2443 theyG846 tooG2532 may obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 thatG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.

11This is a trustworthyG4103 sayingG3056:

14RemindG5279 the believers of these thingsG3778, chargingG1263 them beforeG1799 GodG23161 to avoidG3361 quarreling over wordsG3054, which succeedsG5539 onlyG3762 in leadingG1909 theG3588 listenersG191 to ruinG2692.

15Make every effortG4704 to presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316, an unashamedG422 workmanG2040 who accurately handlesG3718 theG3588 wordG3056 of truthG225.
