2 Timothy 2:4 Context
2And the things that thou hast heard of mee among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithfull men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3Thou therefore indure hardnesse, as a good souldier of Iesus Christ. 4No man that warreth, intangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, that hee may please him who hath chosen him to be a souldier. 5And if a man also striue for masteries, yet is hee not crowned except hee striue lawfully. 6The husbandman that laboureth, must bee first partaker of the fruites.
