1 Corinthians 9:25-27 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

25. And every man that striveth in the games is temperate in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26. I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:

27. but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
