2 Timoteo 2:3

3 Soporta el sufrimiento junto conmigo como un buen soldado de Cristo Jesús.

2 Timoteo 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 2:3

Thou therefore endure hardness
"Or afflictions"; as in ( 2 Timothy 4:5 ) . The same word is used there as here, and properly signifies, "suffer evil"; and means the evil of afflictions, as persecutions of every kind, loss of name and goods, scourging, imprisonment, and death itself, for the sake of Christ and the Gospel:

as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Christ is the Captain of salvation, the Leader and Commander of the people, who are made a willing people in the day of his power; or when he raises his forces, and musters his armies, these are volunteers, who willingly enlist themselves into his service, and under his banners fight his battles; and such who manfully behave against sin, Satan, and the world, are his good soldiers; such are all true believers in Christ, and particularly the ministers of the word, whose ministry is a warfare, and who fight the good fight of faith; and besides the above enemies, which they have in common with other saints, have to do with teachers, who are wolves in sheep's clothing.

2 Timoteo 2:3 In-Context

1 Un buen soldado de Cristo Jesús
Timoteo, mi querido hijo, sé fuerte por medio de la gracia que Dios te da en Cristo Jesús.

2 Me has oído enseñar verdades, que han sido confirmadas por muchos testigos confiables. Ahora enseña estas verdades a otras personas dignas de confianza que estén capacitadas para transmitirlas a otros.

3 Soporta el sufrimiento junto conmigo como un buen soldado de Cristo Jesús.

4 Ningún soldado se enreda en los asuntos de la vida civil, porque de ser así, no podría agradar al oficial que lo reclutó.

5 Asimismo ningún atleta puede obtener el premio a menos que siga las reglas.
