2 Timothy 2:3-7
Legacy Standard Bible
3 (A)Suffer hardship with me, as a good (B)soldier of (C)Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier in active service (D)entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone (E)competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 (F)The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7 Understand what I say, for the Lord will give you insight in everything.

2 Timothy 2:3-7
International Standard Version
3 Join me in suffering like a good soldier of the Messiah[a] Jesus. 4 No one serving in the military gets mixed up in civilian matters, for his aim is to please his commanding officer. 5 Moreover, no one who is an athlete wins a prize unless he competes according to the rules. 6 Furthermore, it is the hard working farmer who should have the first share of the crops. 7 Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you to understand all these things.
