ABU(i)
3 Endure hardship with me, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who chose him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also contends in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contends lawfully.
6 The husbandman that labors must first partake of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel;
9 in which I endure hardship, even unto bonds, as an evil-doer; but the word of God is not bound.
10 For this cause, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
11 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him;
12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we shall deny him, he also will deny us;
