2 Timothy 2:3-5
Wycliffe Bible
3 Travail thou as a good knight of Christ Jesus. [Travail thou as a good knight of Jesus Christ.]
4 No man holding knighthood to God, wrappeth himself [enwrappeth himself] with worldly needs, that he please to him, to whom he hath proved himself.
5 For he that fighteth in a battle [For why and he that striveth in a battle], shall not be crowned, but he fight lawfully.

2 Timothy 2:3-5
New International Version
3 Join with me in suffering,(A) like a good soldier(B) of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown(C) except by competing according to the rules.
