1 Corinthians 9:25-27 And every one who contendeth in the games is temperate in all things: they indeed therefore do it that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ And every one who contendeth [in the games] is temperate in all things: they indeed therefore do it that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. ²⁶ I therefore so run not as uncertainly; so do I exercise with my fists, not as striking the air: ²⁷ but I beat down my body, and bring it into subjection, that I may not by any means, after having preached to others, myself become reprobate.
