1 Corinthians 9:25-27

New King James Version

²⁵ And everyone who competes for the prize ^[a]is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for ^(A)an imperishable crown. ²⁶ Therefore I run thus: ^(B)not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. ^27 (C)But I discipline my body and ^(D)bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become ^(E)disqualified.
