1 Corinthians 9:22-27
New International Version
22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.(A) I have become all things to all people(B) so that by all possible means I might save some.(C) 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
The Need for Self-Discipline
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?(D) Run(E) in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown(F) that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.(G) 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly;(H) I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.(I) 27 No, I strike a blow to my body(J) and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.(K)
