“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.”
No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him — the soldier's complete dedication to his commander's satisfaction (aresko) provides the paradigm: undivided loyalty precludes entanglement in worldly concerns. Single-minded devotion characterizes faithful service.
