2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Do you therefore, my son, be strong in the grace in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you heard from me through many witnesses, these things commit to faithful men, who shall be competent to teach others also.
3 Endure evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one who serves as a soldier is involved in the business of life, that he may please him who has employed him as a soldier. 5 And if a man contends as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he contends lawfully. 6 The husbandman who labors must first partake of the fruits of the earth. 7 Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give you understanding in all things.
