2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 As for you, my son, strenuously acquit yourself of the charge you have receiv'd from Christ Jesus. 2 and what you heard me deliver in the presence of many, intrust to such persons of integrity as are qualified to instruct others
3 bravely endure hardships, like a soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 he that enters into the service, disengages himself from civil affairs, that he may be acceptable to his officer. 5 a combatant does not receive the crown, unless he has observ'd the laws of the games. 6 the labourer must work before he can obtain his reward. 7 consider what I say, and the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
