| 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may
share in its blessings.
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run,
but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as
to get the prize.
25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into
strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not
last; but we do it to get a crown that will last
forever.
26 Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly;
I do not fight like a man beating the air.
27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that
after I have preached to others, I myself will not be
disqualified for the prize.
