23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker together of it.
24 Know ye not that those who run in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain it.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we, an incorruptible one.
26 I therefore so run, not as unto an uncertain thing; so I fight, not as one that beats the air;
27 but I keep my body under, and bring it into subjection, lest preaching to others, I myself should become reprobate.
