1 Corinthians 9:24-26 Do you not know that those running in a race course, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run thus, that you might obtain it.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Do you not know that those running in a race course, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run thus, that you might obtain it. ²⁵ Now everyone striving controls himself in all things; then indeed they, that they might receive a perishable crown; but we, an imperishable. ²⁶ Therefore I run thus, not as uncertainly; I fight thus, not as beating the air.
