2 Timothy 2:5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
The Olympics have specific rules that athletes must obey. If they get caught not obeying the rules they are disqualified and have no chance of earning the medal. In Paul's day they earned a crown.
We as Christians are compared to athletes. If we expect to earn the crown at the judgment we must "compete" according to the rules as written in God's Word.
