No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.

Ουδεις στρατευομενος εμπλεκεται εις τας βιωτικας υποθεσεις, δια να αρεση εις τον στρατολογησαντα.

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.
