24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives sthe prize? So trun that you may obtain it. 25Every uathlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we van imperishable. 26So I do not run aimlessly; I wdo not box as one xbeating the air. 27But I discipline my body and ykeep it under control,2 lest after preaching to others zI myself should be adisqualified.
