2 Timothy 2:1-5 ▼

1 Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;

2 and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these do you commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3 Do you, therefore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier.

5 And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws.
