King James Version
"I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:"
— 1 Corinthians 9:26, King James Version
“I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating 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 this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
