1 Corinthians 9:24-26

Young's Literal Translation

²⁴ have ye not known that those running in a race -- all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;

²⁵ and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

²⁶ I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;
