1 Corinthians 9:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁵ And everyone who contends is temperate in all things. And they do so to obtain a corruptible crown; but we for an incorruptible.

²⁶ I, therefore, so run; not uncertainly. I so fight, and not as one who beats the air.

²⁷ But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. Lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
