2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; 2 and the things which thou didst hear from me before many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, such as will be able to teach others also.
3 Endure hardship with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier entangleth himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who chose him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man contendeth in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contendeth lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboreth must be the first partaker of the fruits. 7 Understand what I say; for the Lord will give thee apprehension in all things.
