1 Corinthians 9:25-27

1 Corinthians 9:25-27 TLV

KJV NIV NLT NKJV ESV

Every competitor exercises self-control in all respects. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we do it to receive an imperishable one. So I run in this way—not aimlessly. So I box in this way—not beating the air. Rather, I punish my body and bring it into submission, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
