4 Bible Verses about Determination

Do you not know that [although] everyone runs in a race, only one person wins the prize? So, you should run in order to win. And everyone who [strenuously] competes in athletic events exercises self-control during training. Now they do this to receive a laurel wreath that withers, but we [do it to receive] a lasting crown. So, I run with a purpose and I fight that way [too]; I do not just shadow box.read more.
But I work out and get my body in shape [i.e., spiritually], so that after preaching to other people, I myself do not become disqualified [i.e., for winning the prize from God. See verse 24].

I can do everything through Christ, who gives me the strength.

I have fought the good battle; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith [i.e., I have been true to my commitment].

For I have decided not to know anything [while] among you, except Jesus Christ and His being crucified.
