Thou therefore, my son, be strong in Christ Jesus: 2And the things which thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, the same commend to faithful men who shall be fit to teach others also. 3Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses: that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself. 5For he also that striveth for the mastery is not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6The husbandman that laboureth must first partake of the fruits. 7Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding.
