2 Timothy 2:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth, entangleth himself with the affairs of [b]this life, because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 [c]And if any man also strive for a mastery, he is not crowned, except he strive as he ought to do.
