1 Corinthians 9:24-26 Know ye not, that they who run in the race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? so run that ye may obtain.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Know ye not, that they who run in the race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? so run that ye may obtain. ²⁵ And every one that contendeth, is temperate in all things: and they indeed, to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. ²⁶ I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; I so fight, not as one that beateth the air.
