2 Timothy 2:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 It is the same with an athlete who runs a race.[a] He cannot win the race unless he obeys the rules. 6 A farmer works hard to grow plants for food. So he should be the first person to receive some of that food. 7 Think carefully about what I am saying to you. The Lord will help you to understand all these things.

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) 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
