1 Corinthians 9:25-27

25 Every ^aathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we ^ban imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I ^cdo not box as one ^dbeating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and ^ekeep it under control, ^{▼▼Greek I pummel my body and make it a slave} lest after preaching to others ^gI myself should be ^hdisqualified.
