1 Corinthians 9:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ And I do all things for the gospel's sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.

²⁴ Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.

²⁵ And every one that striveth for the mastery, refraineth himself from all things: and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one.
