Thematic Bible: With self-denial
Thematic Bible
War » Figurative » To be carried on » With self-denial
Every man taking part in the contest is temperate in all things. They do it to obtain a corruptible crown but we do it to receive an incorruptible crown. I do not run without definite aim (purpose) and I do not fight like a man beating the air. But I discipline my body, and bring it into subjection, so that after I have preached to others I will not be disqualified.
