1 Corinthians 9:22-27
English Standard Version
22 (A)To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. (B)I have become all things to all people, that (C)by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, (D)that I may share with them in its blessings.
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives (E)the prize? So (F)run that you may obtain it. 25 Every (G)athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we (H)an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I (I)do not box as one (J)beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and (K)keep it under control,[a] lest after preaching to others (L)I myself should be (M)disqualified.
