2 Timothy 2:5 Context
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. 7Consider what I say, and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things.
