1 Corinthians 9:25 Context
23And this I doe for the Gospels sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 24Know yee not that they which runne in a race, runne all, but one receiueth the price? So runne, that yee may obtaine. 25And euery man that striueth for the masterie, is temperate in all things: Now they doe it to obtaine a corruptible crowne, but we an incorruptible. 26I therefore so runne, not as vncertainely: so fight I, not as one that beateth the ayre: 27But I keepe vnder my body, and bring it into subiection: lest that by any meanes when I haue preached to others, I my selfe should be a castaway.
