Noyes(i)
3 Endure hardship with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No one serving as a soldier entangleth himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who chose him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man contendeth in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contendeth lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboreth must be the first partaker of the fruits.
7 Understand what I say; for the Lord will give thee apprehension in all things.
8 Bear in mind Jesus Christ of the seed of David, as raised from the dead, according to my gospel;
9 in which I suffer hardship even unto bonds as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.
10 For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with everlasting glory.
11 True 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 deny him, he also will deny us;
13 if we are faithless, he remaineth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
