“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:2 The things - The wholesome doctrine, #2Timothy 1:13|. Commit - Before thou leavest Ephesus. To faithful men, who will be able, after thou art gone, to teach others.
2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself - Any more than is unavoidable. In the affairs of this life - With worldly business or cares. That - Minding war only, he may please his captain. In this and the next verse there is a plain allusion to the Roman law of arms, and to that of the Grecian games. According to the former, no soldier was to engage in any civil employment; according to the latter, none could be crowned as conqueror, who did not keep strictly to the rules of the game.
2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Timothy was a soldier of the cross. It is the part of a soldier to suffer as well as to fight.
Thou therefore indure hardnesse, as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
