Context of 2 Timothy 2:7
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. Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9In which I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
