Verse
1 Corinthians - ch 9 v 21 - 27
- To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.
- To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.
- And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.
- Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.
- And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.
- So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:
- But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.
