1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁴ ¶ Know ye not that those who run in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain it.

²⁵ And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we, an incorruptible one.

²⁶ I therefore so run, not as unto an uncertain thing; so I fight, not as one that beats the air;

²⁷ but I keep my body under, and bring it into subjection, lest preaching to others, I myself should become reprobate.
