2 Timothy 2:1-7

Exhortation to Be Strong in Grace

1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace [that is] in Christ Jesus,
2 and [the things] which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these [things] to faithful people who will be competent to teach others also.
3 Suffer together with [me] as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No one who serves as a soldier is entangled in the activities of [everyday] life, so that he may please the one who enlisted [him].
5 And also if anyone competes he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
6 The farmer who works hard must [be] the first to receive a share of the crops.
7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will grant you understanding in all [these things].
