1 Corinthians 9:23-27

23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, ^athat I may share with them in its blessings.

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives ^bthe prize? So ^crun that you may obtain it. 25 Every ^dathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we ^ean imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I ^fdo not box as one ^gbeating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and ^hkeep it under control, ^{▼▼Greek I pummel my body and make it a slave} lest after preaching to others ^jI myself should be ^kdisqualified.
