1 Corinthians 9:24-26 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. ²⁵ Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. ²⁶ Therefore I do not run aimlessly. I do not box as a man beating the air.
