Three Metaphors for Endurance

2 Timothy 2:3-7

You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.

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 farmers who labor 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.
