1Corinthians 9:24-2724 Do you not know that

those who run in a race all run, but one receives theprize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

1Corinthians 9:24-2725 And everyone who

competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishablecrown.

1Corinthians 9:24-2726 Therefore I run thus:

not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

1Corinthians 9:24-2727 But I discipline my

body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preachedto others, I myself should become disqualified.
