2 Timothy 2:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
2 2 The better to set out perseverance in the Christian warfare, 3 he taketh similitudes, 4 from soldiers, 6 and from husbandmen. 10 He showeth that his bonds are for the profit of the Saints: 15 Then he warneth Timothy to divide the word of truth aright, 17 to beware of the examples of the wicked, 22 and to do all things modestly.
1 Thou [a]therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And what things thou hast heard of me, by [b]many witnesses, the same deliver to faithful men, which shall be able to teach others also.
3 [c]Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
