2 Timothy 2:3-7

3 aShare in suffering as ba good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No soldier cgets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 dAn athlete is not ecrowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6It is fthe hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
