Everyone who competes practices self-discipline in everything. The runners do this to get a crown of leaves that shrivel up and die, but we do it to receive a crown that never dies. So now this is how I run—not without a clear goal in sight. I fight like a boxer in the ring, not like someone who is shadowboxing.

Rather, I’m landing punches on my own body and subduing it like a slave. I do this to be sure that I myself won’t be disqualified after preaching to others.

Don’t you know that all the runners in the stadium run, but only one gets the prize? So run to win.

I act weak to the weak, so I can recruit the weak. I have become all things to all people, so I could save some by all possible means.
