1 SO YOU, my son, be strong (strengthened inwardly) in the grace (spiritual blessing) that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the which you have heard from me along with many witnesses, transmit and entrust to reliable and faithful men who will be competent and qualified to teach others also. 3 Take your share of the hardships and suffering as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him. 5 And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down). 6 the hard-working farmer who must be the first partaker of the fruits. 7 Think over these things I am saying , for the Lord will grant you full insight and understanding in everything.
