Discipline and the Race for the Prize
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
24
Don’t you know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one wins the prize? So then, run to win!
25
Now every athlete in training submits himself to strict discipline, and he does it just to win a laurel wreath that will soon wither away. But we do it to win a crown that will last forever.
26
Accordingly, I don’t run aimlessly but straight for the finish line; I don’t shadow-box but try to make every punch count.
27
I treat my body hard and make it my slave so that, after proclaiming the Good News to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
