2 Timothy 2:5 in the World English Bible
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Context
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
