Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So, run to win! 1 Corinthians 9:24

My brothers and sisters in Christ, “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. Therefore, I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air. Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27
