2 Timothy 2:3-7
English Standard Version
3 (A)Share in suffering as (B)a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier (C)gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 (D)An athlete is not (E)crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 It is (F)the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

2 Timothy 2:3-7
New Living Translation
3 Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. 5 And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. 6 And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor. 7 Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.
