2 Timothy 2:1-5 ▼

1 As for you, my child, be strong by the grace that is in the Messiah Jesus.

2 What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.

3 Join me in suffering like a good soldier of the Messiah Jesus.

4 No one serving in the military gets mixed up in civilian matters, for his aim is to please his commanding officer.

5 Moreover, no one who is an athlete wins a prize unless he competes according to the rules.
