American Standard Version
"I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: "
— 1 Corinthians 9:26, American Standard Version
“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:”
“I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,”
“So I do not run uncertainly or box like one who hits only air.”
“I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air.”
“So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:”
“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:”
And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof.
Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain.
And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:
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.
