The farmer that labors must be first partaker of the fruits.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 2:6 Go To 2 Timothy 2
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The husbandman who laboureth must first partake. Both the Latin and Greek texts admit of two interpretations: the sense may either be, that it is fitting the husbandman partake first and before others of the fruits of his labours, or that he must first labour and then partake. (Witham)
