{Suffer hardship with me} (sunkakopath(8873)on). See  1:8  for
this verb. The old preacher challenges the young one to share
hardship with him for Christ. {As a good soldier} (hos kalos
strati(9374)(8873)). Paul does not hesitate to use this military
metaphor (this word only here for a servant of Christ) with which
he is so familiar. He had already used the metaphor in  1Co 9:7  2Co 10:3f.  1Ti 1:18 . In  Php 2:25  he called Epaphroditus "my
fellow-soldier" (sunstrati(9374)(886e) mou) as he did Archippus in  Phm
1:2 .
