1 Corinthians 9:24-26

21st Century King James Version

²⁴ Know ye not that those who run in a race all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain it.

²⁵ And every man that striveth for mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

²⁶ I therefore so run, but not with uncertainty; I so fight, but not as one that beateth the air.
