40But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41But the Lord answered her, Martha, Martha, you are aanxious and troubled about many things, 42but one thing is necessary.
Some manuscripts few things are necessary, or only one
Mary has chosen cthe good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

For jthe present form of this world is passing away.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives kthe prize? So lrun that you may obtain it. 25Every mathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we nan imperishable. 26So I do not run aimlessly; I odo not box as one pbeating the air. 27But I discipline my body and qkeep it under control,
Greek  I pummel my body and make it a slave
lest after preaching to others sI myself should be tdisqualified.
