1 Corinthians 9:22-27

New American Standard Bible

²² To the ^(A)weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become ^(B)all things to all people, ^(C)so that I may by all means save some. ²³ I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

^24 (D)Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives ^(E)the prize? ^(F)Run in such a way that you may win. ²⁵ Everyone who ^(G)competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable ^(H)wreath, but we an imperishable. ²⁶ Therefore I ^(I)run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as ^[a]to avoid ^(J)hitting air; ²⁷ but I strictly discipline ^(K)my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
