3Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
5Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.
6The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.
7Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.
8Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
9for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
10For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
