2 Timothy 2:4
Douay-Rheims
No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
G. P. omit "to God." The apostle uses the comparison of a soldier, who does not engage in the common pursuits of men, being wholly devoted to the pro- fession of arms.
