2 Timothy 2:2-8
2 And the things awhich you have heard from me in the presence of bmany witnesses, centrust these to dfaithful men who will be eable to teach others also. 3 aSuffer hardship with me, as a good bsoldier of cChrist Jesus. 4 No soldier in active service aentangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone acompetes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 aThe hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7 Understand what I say, for the Lord will give you insight in everything.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, arisen from the dead, of the bseed of David, caccording to my gospel,
2 Timothy 4:1-5
Preach the Word
aI solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to bjudge the living and the dead, and by His cappearing and His kingdom: 2 preach athe word; be ready in season and out of season; breprove, rebuke, exhort, with great cpatience and teaching. 3 For athe time will come when they will not endure bsound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and awill turn away their ears from the truth and bwill turn aside to myths.
5 But you, abe sober in all things, bendure hardship, do the work of an cevangelist, fulfill your dministry.
1 Timothy 5:22
22 aDo not lay hands upon anyone hastily and thereby share bresponsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
1 Timothy 5:23
23 No longer drink water only, but ause a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
