2 Timothy 2:1-7

1You therefore, my 1 2son, 3be strong in the grace that is in 4Christ Jesus. 2The things 5which you have heard from me in the presence of 6many witnesses, 7entrust these to 8faithful 9people who will be 10able to teach others also. 3 11Suffer hardship with me, as a good 12soldier of 13Christ Jesus. 4No soldier in active service 14entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him. 5And if someone likewise 15competes as an athlete, he is not 16crowned as victor unless he competes according to the rules. 6 17The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
