2 Timothy 2:3-7. Paul gives three examples and asks Timothy
to guess what they mean. It seems clear to me that their meaning is that
Timothy should not try to make money in secular work but rather focus on his
ministry and get financial support from his church. Perhaps Timothy is not
getting a great deal of money, like a soldier he has no other way he can make
money. Timothy is working as a minister, he needs to do that work properly, not
cheat by giving his time to something else that may earn money. If Timothy
works hard he will share in the blessing that will surely come as a result,
which will provide for his needs.
