1 Corinthians 9:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ I do all this for the sake of the Good News in order to share what it offers.

²⁴ Don’t you realize that everyone who runs in a race runs to win, but only one runner gets the prize? Run like them, so that you can win. ²⁵ Everyone who enters an athletic contest goes into strict training. They do it to win a temporary crown, but we do it to win one that will be permanent.
