"I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,"
— 1 Corinthians 9:26, World English Bible
“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:”
“I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, 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:”
Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.
Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
