1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Know ye not that they who run in the stadium, run all of them; yet it is one who gaineth the victory. Run ye, so as to attain.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Know ye not that they who run in the stadium, run all of them; yet it is one who gaineth the victory. Run ye, so as to attain. ²⁵ For every one who engageth in the contest, restraineth his desires in every thing. And they run, to obtain a crown that perisheth; but we, one that perisheth not. ²⁶ I therefore so run, not as for something unknown; and I so struggle, not as struggling against air; ²⁷ but I subdue my body, and reduce it to servitude; lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a reprobate.
