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.

Lexham English Bible
24 Do you not know that those who run in the stadium all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 And everyone who competes exercises self-control in all things. Thus those do so in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. 26 Therefore I run in this way, not as running aimlessly; I box in this way, not as beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and subjugate it, lest somehow after[a] preaching to others, I myself should become disqualified.
