'Compete' in the Bible

The Lord answered, "If you have raced on foot against men and they have worn you out, how will you be able to compete with horses? And if you feel secure only in safe and open country, how will you manage in the thick undergrowth along the Jordan River?

Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win.

Compete well for the faith and lay hold of that eternal life you were called for and made your good confession for in the presence of many witnesses.
