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

1 So you, my son, must find strength in the blessing that comes through Christ Jesus. 2 The things you learned from me before many witnesses you must commit to trustworthy men who will be capable of teaching others.

3 Share my hardships like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 Anyone who is in the army keeps from being involved in business affairs, so as to please the officer who enlisted him. 5 No one who competes in the games is awarded a crown unless he obeys the rules. 6 The farmer who does the work ought to be the first to have some of the produce. 7 Think over what I say. For the Lord will help you to understand it perfectly.
