2 Timothée 2:5

Listen to 2 Timothée 2:5
5 et l'athlète n'est pas couronné, s'il n'a combattu suivant les règles.

2 Timothée 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 2:5

And if a man also strive for masteries
In the Olympic games, by running, wrestling, leaping

yet is he not crowned;
with a corruptible, fading crown, a crown made of herbs and leaves of trees, as parsley, laurel

except he strive lawfully;
according to the laws and rules fixed for those exercises; so no man that calls himself a Christian, minister, or any other, can expect the crown of life, the prize of the high calling of God, except he runs the race set before him, in the right way; looking to Christ, the mark, pressing through all difficulties, towards the prize, and holds on and out unto the end.

3 Souffre avec moi, comme un bon soldat de Jésus-Christ.
4 Il n'est pas de soldat qui s'embarrasse des affaires de la vie, s'il veut plaire à celui qui l'a enrôlé;
5 et l'athlète n'est pas couronné, s'il n'a combattu suivant les règles.
6 Il faut que le laboureur travaille avant de recueillir les fruits.
7 Comprends ce que je dis, car le Seigneur te donnera de l'intelligence en toutes choses.
