Popular Bible Verses from 1 Corinthians 9

Share

People who run in races prepare their bodies well. They make themselves work very hard. They do this so that they will win a prize that will quickly become spoiled. But we work hard to receive a prize that will never become spoiled. Because of that, I do not run without any purpose. I do not fight like someone who only hits the air.

I make my body do what I want it to do. I make it like my slave. I have told God's message to other people. Now I do not want to lose the prize myself. So I try very hard to obey the rules of the race.

Think about how people run in a race. All the runners run, but only one of them receives the prize. You must run like that, to win the race.

With weak people, I became like someone who is weak too. I did that so that I could bring weak people to believe in Christ. Whoever I am living among, I live as they do. I want to do as much as I can to save some of them.
