2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus. 2 And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore suffer ill treatment, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 None making war is entangled with the affairs of life: that he may please him having enlisted him. 5 And also if any contend for a prize, he is not crowned, except he contend for a prize lawfully. 6 The farmer toiling must first participate in the fruits. 7 Observe what I say; for may the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.
