3 Suffer affliction, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No one operating as a soldier is entangled with the affairs of life; in order that he may please his commander.

5 But if indeed any one may fight, he is not crowned unless he may fight lawfully.

6 It behooves the toiling farmer first to partake of the fruits.

7 Know what I say; for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.

10 On account of this I endure all things for the sake of the elect, in order that they may also have the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we die along with him, we will also live with him:

12 if we endure, we will truly reign with him: if we shall deny him, he will also deny us:
