2 Timothy 2:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself.

⁵ For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

⁶ The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of the fruits.
