2 Timothy 2:6 Douay-Rheims

The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of the fruits.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

The meaning seems to be, that the husbandman must first labour before he partake of the fruits: so the minister of Christ must labour before he can enter into happiness.
