1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Legacy Standard Bible
24 (A)Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives (B)the prize? (C)Run in such a way that you may win. 25 Now everyone who (D)competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a corruptible (E)crown, but we an incorruptible. 26 Therefore I (F)run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not (G)beating the air; 27 but I [a]discipline (H)my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
International Standard Version
24 You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don’t you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious. 25 Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that withers away, but we run to win a prize that[a] never fades. 26 That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I fight, not like someone shadow boxing. 27 No, I keep on disciplining my body, making it serve me so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.
