2 Timothy 2:3-7
21st Century King James Version
3 Endure thou therefore hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man who warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if also a man strive for masteries, yet he is not crowned unless he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman who laboreth must be the first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
