1 Corinthians 9:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, yet one receives the prize? So, run that you may obtain it.

²⁵ And everyone who contends is temperate in all things. And they do so to obtain a corruptible crown; but we for an incorruptible.

²⁶ I, therefore, so run; not uncertainly. I so fight, and not as one who beats the air.
