Be Strong in Grace

1 You therefore, amy son, bbe strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  
2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3 You therefore must aendure hardship bas a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  
4 aNo one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.  
5 And also aif anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.  
6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.
7 Consider what I say, and1 may the Lord agive you understanding in all things.  
8 Remember that Jesus Christ, aof the seed of David, bwas raised from the dead caccording to my gospel,  
9 afor which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, beven to the point of chains; cbut the word of God is not chained.  
10 Therefore aI endure all things for the sake of the1 elect, bthat they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.  
11 This is a faithful saying:
For aif we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him. 
12 aIf we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
bIf we deny Him,
He also will deny us. 
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He acannot deny Himself.

14 Remind them of these things, acharging them before the Lord not to1 strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.  
15 aBe diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
