2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace

1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace in Christ Jesus. 2 And what thou have heard from me through many witnesses, these things commit thou to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.

3 Thou therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man who serves in the military entangles himself in the affairs of life, so that he may please the man who enlisted the army. 5 And also if any man competes, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully. 6 The farmer who labors must be the first to partake of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say, for may the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
