2 Timothy 2:4-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

5. Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.

6. The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.
