LEB(i)
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.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David according to my gospel,
9 in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of ⌊imprisonment⌋* as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.
10 Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, in order that they also may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
