1 Corinthians 9:24

Paul Gives Up His Rights As An Apostle

²³ But, all things, am I doing, for the sake of the glad-message, that a joint-partaker thereof, I may become. ²⁴ Know ye not that, they who, in a racecourse, run, all, indeed, run, - but, one, receiveth the prize? So, be running, that ye may lay hold. ²⁵ But, every man who striveth in the games, in all things, useth self-control; - they, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown, they may receive; but, we, an incorruptible!
