Thematic Bible: With self-denial
Thematic Bible
War » Figurative » To be carried on » With self-denial
Every athlete exercises self-restraint in everything; they, indeed, for a crown that fades, we for one that is unfading. I, therefore, run with no uncertain aim. I box-not like a man hitting the air. No, I bruise my body and make it my slave, lest I, who have called others to the contest, should myself be rejected.
