1 Corinthians 9:24-26

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives athe prize? So brun that you may obtain it. 25Every cathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we dan imperishable. 26So I do not run aimlessly; I edo not box as one fbeating the air.

Philippians 3:13-14

13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: gforgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for hthe prize of the upward icall of God in Christ Jesus.
