1 Corinthians 9:24-26 Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one wins the prize? That is the way you must run, so as to win.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one wins the prize? That is the way you must run, so as to win. ²⁵ Any man who enters an athletic contest goes into strict training, to win a wreath that will soon wither, but the one we compete for will never wither. ²⁶ So that is the way I run, unswervingly. That is the way I fight, not punching the air.
