2 Timothy 2:3-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Join me in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. ⁴ Whoever serves in the military doesn’t get mixed up in non-military activities. This pleases his commanding officer. ⁵ Whoever enters an athletic competition wins the prize only when playing by the rules. ⁶ A hard-working farmer should have the first share of the crops. ⁷ Understand what I’m saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.
