2 Timothy 2:3-7

3Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier.

5And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.

6The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.

7Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
