Genesis 32:25-26

25When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, a“I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

Or  has been coming violently
and the violent take it by force.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives mthe prize? So nrun that you may obtain it. 25Every oathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we pan imperishable. 26So I do not run aimlessly; I qdo not box as one rbeating the air. 27But I discipline my body and skeep it under control,
Greek  I pummel my body and make it a slave
lest after preaching to others uI myself should be vdisqualified.
