2 Timoteo 2:5

Listen to 2 Timoteo 2:5
5 Y aun también el que lidia, no es coronado si no lidiare legítimamente.

2 Timoteo 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 Tú pues, sufre trabajos como fiel soldado de Jesucristo.

5 Y aun también el que lidia, no es coronado si no lidiare legítimamente.
6 El labrador, para recibir los frutos, es menester que trabaje primero.
7 Considera lo que digo; y el Señor te dé entendimiento en todo.
