24 have you not known that those running in a race—all indeed run, but one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain; 25 and everyone who is striving is temperate in all things; these, indeed, then, that they may receive a corruptible garland, but we an incorruptible; 26 I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air; 27 but I bruise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.
