1 Corinthians 9:26 in context

  1. 24Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.
  2. 25Every 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.
  3. 26I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,
  4. 27but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
