1. You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2. The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
3. You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4. No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
