1 Corinthians 9:25-27
<< 1 Corinthians 8 | 1 Corinthians 9 | 1 Corinthians 10 >>

25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, [1] lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
