2 Timothy 2:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴ No soldier ^(A)gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. ^5 (B)An athlete is not ^(C)crowned unless he competes according to the rules. ⁶ It is ^(D)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.
