enduring as a good soldier
"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ.
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."
2 Timothy 2:3-4
"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowedging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." PHILEMON 1:6
If we do not acknowledge by knowing and saying the good things that are ours or in us in Christ Jesus, then we can not communicate or tell others about our faith effectively!
