2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Now, my son, be strong in the grace of Christ Jesus, 2 and transmit the instructions I gave you in presence of many witnesses to trustworthy men, that they may be competent to teach others.
3 Join the ranks of those who bear suffering, like a loyal soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civil pursuits; his aim is to satisfy his commander. 5 Again, a competitor in the games is not crowned unless he observes the rules. 6 The farmer who has done the work must have the first share of the fruit. 7 Think what I mean! The Lord will help you to understand perfectly.
