1 Corinthians 9:23-27

23AndG1161 thisG3778 I doG4160 forG1223 the gospel’s sakeG3588G2098, thatG2443 I might beG1096 partakerG4791 thereof withG846 you.

24Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 they whichG3588 runG5143 inG1722 a raceG4712 runG5143 allG3956, butG1161 oneG1520 receivethG2983 the prizeG3588G1017? SoG3779 runG5143, thatG2443 ye may obtainG2638. 25AndG1161 every manG3956 that striveth for the masteryG75 is temperateG1467 in all thingsG3956. NowG3767 theyG1565 do it toG2443 obtainG2983 a corruptibleG5349 crownG4735; butG1161 weG1473 an incorruptibleG862.

26IG1473 thereforeG5106 soG3779 runG5143, notG3756 asG5613 uncertainlyG84; soG3779 fight IG4438, notG3756 asG5613 one that beatethG1194 the airG109: 27ButG235 I keep underG5299 myG1473 bodyG3588G4983, andG2532 bringG1396 it into subjectionG1396: lest that by any meansG3381, when I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 should beG1096 a castawayG96.
