1Corinthians:9:24-27
rsv@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
rsv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
rsv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air;
rsv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
