1 Corinthians 9:21-24

New King James Version

^21 (A)to ^(B)those who are without law, as without law ^(C)(not being without ^[a]law toward God, but under ^[b]law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; ^22 (D)to the weak I became ^[c]as weak, that I might win the weak. ^(E)I have become all things to all men, ^(F)that I might by all means save some. ²³ Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

Striving for a Crown

²⁴ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? ^(G)Run in such a way that you may ^[d]obtain it.
