Preparing the Christian soldier
This charge I entrust to you,
Timothy, my child, in accordance
with the prophecies previously
made about you, that by them
you may wage the good warfare,
1 Timothy 1:18
Share in suffering as a good
soldier of Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:3
Put on the whole armor of
God, that you may be
able to stand against the
schemes of the
devil. …. 13 Therefore
take up the whole armor
of God, that you may be
able to withstand in the
evil day,
11 Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand
against the schemes of the
devil. 12… 13 Therefore take up the
whole armor of God, that you may
be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand
firm. 14 Stand therefore, having
fastened on the belt of truth, and
having put on the breastplate of
righteousness,
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not
waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the
weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh
but have divine power to destroy
strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and
every lofty opinion raised against the
knowledge of God, and take every thought
captive to obey Christ,

But since we belong
to the day, let us
be sober, having
put on the
breastplate of faith
and love, and for a
helmet the hope of
salvation.
9 How can a young man
keep his way pure?
By guarding it according
to your word.
10 With my whole heart I
seek you;
let me not wander from
your commandments!
11 I have stored up your
word in my heart,
that I might not sin
against you.

Hebrews 10:38-39
38 but my righteous
one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks
back, my soul has no
pleasure in him.”

those who shrink
back and are
destroyed, but of
those who have faith
and preserve their
souls.
