3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be the first to partake of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:
9 wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
