1 Corinthians 9:25-27 Euery one that proueth mastrye, absteyneth from all thinges, and they do it, that they maye optayne a corruptible crowne, but we to optayne an vncorruptible crowne.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Euery one that proueth mastrye, absteyneth from all thinges, and they do it, that they maye optayne a corruptible crowne, but we to optayne an vncorruptible crowne. ²⁶ I therfore so runne, not as at an vncertayne thinge: So fighte I, not as one yt beateth ye ayre: ²⁷ but I tame my body, and brynge it in to subieccion, lest whan I preach vnto other: I my selfe be a cast awaye.
