2 Timothy 2 3-2 Timothy 2 13
Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.The husbandman that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits.Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
