^{24 Ref} Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

^{25 Ref} Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

^{26 Ref} I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,

^{27 Ref} but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

^{24 Ref} Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

^{25 Ref} And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

^{26 Ref} I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

^{27 Ref} But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
