2 Timothy 2:4
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“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.”
ἵνα
That, in order that, so that. Hina. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son in order that whoever believes in Him should not perish. The purpose of the cross is clear.

No one, nothing, none. No one can snatch them out of My hand. The security of the believer rests not in their grip but in His. And His grip never fails.
