2 Timothy 2:1-7 - Exhortation To Be Strong In Grace
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus: 2 and the things which thou hast heard from me, before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Do thou therefore endure hardship, as becomes a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one, that enters into military service, embarrasseth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him. 5 And if any one contend in the public games, he gains not the crown unless he contend fairly. 6 The husbandman must labour first, in order to partake of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
