Twenty-six verses carry a charge to endure hardship as a soldier, compete as an athlete, and labour as a farmer, then to correctly handle the Word of Truth.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
You therefore my child be strengthened in the grace That is in Christ Jesus The things which you have heard from me amongst many witnesses
Commit the same things to faithful men Who will be able to teach others also You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier Of Christ Jesus no soldier on duty entangles himself In the affairs of life
That he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier Also if anyone competes in athletics He isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules The farmer who labours must be the first To get a share of the crops
Consider what I say and may the Lord give you Understanding in all things Remember Jesus Christ risen from the dead Of the offspring of David according to my Good News
In which I suffer hardship to the point of chains As a criminal but God’s word isn’t chained Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake That they also may obtain the salvation Which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory
This saying is trustworthy for if we died with him We will also live with him if we endure We will also reign with him if we deny him He also will deny us if we are faithless He remains faithful for he can’t deny himself
