3 Thou, therefore, work hard as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And also if anyone contends in public contest, he is not crowned, except he contends legitimately.
6 The husbandman, in order to receive the fruits, must first work hard.
7 Understand what I say, that the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according to my gospel,
9 in which I suffer trouble, like unto an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
