NASB
"Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules."
— 2 Timothy 2:5, NASB
“And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.”
“And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully. ”
“Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn't crowned unless he has competed by the rules.”
“Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he will not be crowned as the winner unless he competes according to the rules.”
“For he also that striveth for the mastery is not crowned, except he strive lawfully.”
“And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.”
“And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.”

Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.
The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,
