2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 THOU therefore, my son, be mighty in the grace which is in Jesus Christ. 2 And the things which thou hast heard of me before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be qualified to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardships, as a brave soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him. 5 And if a man contend in the public games, he is not crowned victor, unless he contend according to the laws. 6 The husbandman who toils is the first who ought to partake of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
