1 Corinthians 9:20-27
201To the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a JewG2453, soG2443 that I might winG2770 JewsG2453; to thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 2the LawG3551, as underG5259 3the LawG3551 though 4not beingG1510 myselfG846 underG5259 5the LawG3551, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 6the LawG3551; 21to thoseG3588 who are 7withoutG459 lawG459, 8as withoutG459 lawG459, though not beingG1510 withoutG459 the lawG459 of GodG2316 but 9underG1772 the lawG1772 of ChristG5547, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 who are withoutG459 lawG459. 22To the 10weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might winG2770 the weakG772; I have becomeG1096 11allG3956 thingsG3956 to allG3956 menG3956, 12soG2443 that I may by allG3843 meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100. 23I doG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 for the sakeG1223 of the gospelG2098, soG2443 that I may becomeG1096 a fellowG4791 partakerG4791 of it.
2413Do you not knowG3609 that thoseG3588 who runG5143 in a raceG4712 allG3956 runG5143, but only oneG1520 receivesG2983 14the prizeG1017? 15RunG5143 in suchG3779 a wayG3779 that you may winG2638. 25EveryoneG3956 who 16competesG75 in the gamesG75 exercisesG1467 self-controlG1467 in allG3956 thingsG3956. They thenG3767 do it to receiveG2983 a perishableG5349 17wreathG4735, but we an imperishableG862. 26ThereforeG5106 I 18runG5143 in suchG3779 a wayG3779, as not withoutG84 aimG84; I boxG4438 in suchG3779 a wayG3779, as not 19beatingG1194 the airG109; 27but I 20disciplineG5299 21my bodyG4983 and makeG1396 it my slaveG1396, so that, after I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 will not be disqualifiedG96.
