1 Corinthians 9:24-27

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 CSB

Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race,  but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.  Now everyone who competes exercises self-control  in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown,  but we an imperishable crown. So I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air. Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
