3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Entangle
1. To twist together or entwine into a confusing mass; snarl.
2. To complicate; confuse.
3. To involve in or as if in a tangle. See Synonyms at catch.
I feel that God is telling me if we are to fight the good fight of faith we cannot allow the cares of this life to complicate or confuse us. When we do our vision becomes blurred. Our overall perspective becomes a confusing mass of twist thoughts that hold us back and drag us down which keeps us from achieving our goals. God wants us to endure hard times and not allow the hard times [the cares] to prevent us from being the good soldier Christ calls us to be.
