2 Timothy 2:1-5 ▼

1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also.

3 Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier.

5 And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.
