1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Christian Standard Bible

²⁴ Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race,^(A) but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.^{(B) 25} Now everyone who competes exercises self-control^(C) in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown,^(D) but we an imperishable crown.
