1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain. ²⁵ And everyone who strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. ²⁶ So then I run, not as if I were uncertain. And so I fight, not as one who beats the air. ²⁷ But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.
