1 Corinthians 9:25-27 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

25. All who compete in the games use strict training. They do this so that they can win a prize—one that doesn’t last. But our prize is one that will last forever.

26. So I run like someone who has a goal. I fight like a boxer who is hitting something, not just the air.

27. It is my own body I fight to make it do what I want. I do this so that I won’t miss getting the prize myself after telling others about it.
