'Competition' in the Bible
And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
Then I considered all the skillful work that is done: Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another. This also is profitless -- like chasing the wind.
But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,
Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.
Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.
