2 Timothy 2:3-10 Thou therefore suffer ill treatment, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Thou therefore suffer ill treatment, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ None making war is entangled with the affairs of life: that he may please him having enlisted him. ⁵ And also if any contend for a prize, he is not crowned, except he contend for a prize lawfully. ⁶ The farmer toiling must first participate in the fruits. ⁷ Observe what I say; for may the Lord give to thee understanding in all things. ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news: ⁹ In which I suffer ill treatment, to bonds, as an evil doer; but the word of God has not been bound. ¹⁰ For this I endure all things for the chosen, that they also might attain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
