2 Timothy 2:4-6
Wycliffe Bible
4 No man holding knighthood to God, wrappeth himself [enwrappeth himself] with worldly needs, that he please to him, to whom he hath proved himself.
5 For he that fighteth in a battle [For why and he that striveth in a battle], shall not be crowned, but he fight lawfully.
6 It behooveth an earth-tiller to receive first of the fruits.

2 Timothy 2:4-6
New International Version
4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown(A) except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.(B)
