1 Therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.
2 And what you have heard from me among many witnesses, entrust to faithful people who will be capable to teach others also.
3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.
4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the activities of everyday life, so that he might please the one who enlisted him.
5 Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned victorious unless he competes according to the rules.
6 The hard-working farmer ought to receive the first share of the crops.
