2 Timothy 2:6
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the
fruits. The farmer has the first right to the fruits. Three
illustrations, that of the soldier, the athlete, and the farmer are
here given (2 Timothy 2:4-6). They all bear on the life of Timothy.
``All three must deny themselves and suffer, in order to
receive the reward. The soldier denies himself the world;
the athlete obeys rigid laws; the husbandman labors and
waits for a reward. So you must be content to deny
yourself, to suffer, and to wait for your reward.'
