2 Timothy 2:1-7

21st Century King James Version

2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

² And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, commit thou the same to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also.

³ Endure thou therefore hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

⁴ No man who warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

⁵ And if also a man strive for masteries, yet he is not crowned unless he strive lawfully.

⁶ The husbandman who laboreth must be the first partaker of the fruits.

⁷ Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
