2 Timothy 2:1-5 ▼

1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,

2 and the things that you heard from me through many witnesses, be committing these things to steadfast men, who will also be sufficient to teach others;

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

4 no one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who enlisted him;

5 and if anyone also may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;
