2 Timothy 2:1-7

1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.1 3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5And if a man also striveth for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he striveth lawfully. 6The farmer that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.2 7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
