1 Corinthians 9:23-27
American Standard Version
23 And I do all things for the [a]gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. 24 Know ye not that they that run in a [b]race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so [c]fight I, as not beating the air: 27 but I [d]buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I [e]have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
