2 Timothy 2:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

⁴ No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself.

⁵ For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
