2 Et ce que tu as entendu de moi en présence de beaucoup de témoins, confie-le à des hommes fidèles, qui soient capables de l’enseigner aussi à d’autres.
3 Souffre avec moi, comme un bon soldat de Jésus-Christ.
4 Il n’est pas de soldat qui s’embarrasse des affaires de la vie, s’il veut plaire à celui qui l’a enrôlé;
5 et l’athlète n’est pas couronné, s’il n’a combattu suivant les règles.
6 Il faut que le laboureur travaille avant de recueillir les fruits.
