2 Timothy 2:1-7

Young's Literal Translation

2 Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,

² and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

³ thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

⁴ no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;

⁵ and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;

⁶ the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake;

⁷ be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.
