2 Timothy 2:1-7

International Children’s Bible

A Loyal Soldier of Christ Jesus

2 Timothy, you are like a son to me. Be strong in the grace that we have in Christ Jesus. ² You and many others have heard what I have taught. You should teach the same thing to some people you can trust. Then they will be able to teach it to others. ³ Share in the troubles that we have. Accept them like a true soldier of Christ Jesus. ⁴ A soldier wants to please his commanding officer, so he does not waste his time doing the things that most people do. ⁵ If an athlete is running a race, he must obey all the rules in order to win. ⁶ The farmer who works hard should be the first person to get some of the food that he grew. ⁷ Think about these things that I am saying. The Lord will give you the ability to understand all these things.
