2 Timothy 2:4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier. When Stonewall Jackson, who was personally a very tender man, was asked whether he had no compunctions in shelling a certain town, which had been threatened unless it surrendered, he replied, "None whatever. What business had I with results? My duty was to obey orders." (H. O. Mackey.) Parallel Verses KJV: No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. |
