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

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. ⁶ Furthermore, it is the hard working farmer who should have the first share of the crops. ⁷ Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you to understand all these things.
