2 Timothy 2:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua. ⁴ No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the activities of everyday life, so that he might please the one who enlisted him. ⁵ Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned victorious unless he competes according to the rules.
