(A)Share in suffering as (B)a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier (C)gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. (D)An athlete is not (E)crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is (F)the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

Remember Jesus Christ, (G)risen from the dead, the (H)offspring of David, (I)as preached in my gospel, (J)for which I am suffering, (K)bound with chains as a criminal. But (L)the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore (M)I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain (N)the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with (O)eternal glory.

Join with me in suffering,(A) like a good soldier(B) of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown(C) except by competing according to the rules. The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.(D) Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.

Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,(E) descended from David.(F) This is my gospel,(G) for which I am suffering(H) even to the point of being chained(I) like a criminal. But God’s word(J) is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything(K) for the sake of the elect,(L) that they too may obtain the salvation(M) that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.(N)
