2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Thou, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou, therefore, work hard as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And also if anyone contends in public contest, he is not crowned, except he contends legitimately. 6 The husbandman, in order to receive the fruits, must first work hard. 7 Understand what I say, that the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
