Do you not know that those who run in a race all run to, but one receives the prize? Run therefore in such a way that you may obtain it. 1 Corinthians 9:25

My brothers and sisters in Christ, “Everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I run thus, not with uncertainty or as one who beats the air, but I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, let when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.”
