Who travaileth any time with his own [soldier’s] wages? Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of his fruit? Who keepeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
Take ye attention to you, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set [or hath put] you, bishops to rule the church of God, which he purchased with his blood.
He shall take the same part of meats, that also other deacons shall take; besides that that is due to him in his city, by succession, either heritage, of father.
Who is the man that planted a vinery [or vine], and hath not yet made it to be common, and of which it is leaveful to all men to eat? go he, and turn again into his house, lest peradventure he die in battle, and another man be set in his office.
I betake this commandment to thee, thou son Timothy, after the prophecies that have been heretofore in thee, that thou travail [or fight] in them a good travail,
Strive thou a good strife of faith, catch everlasting life, into which thou art called, and hast acknowledged a good acknowledging before many witnesses.
