1 Corinthians Flashcards
1 Corinthians 9:23
All the things I do are for the sake of the gospel, so I can be a partner with it.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
[24] Don’t you know that all the runners in the stadium run, but only one gets the prize? So run to win. [25] Everyone who competes practices self-discipline in everything. The runners do this to get a crown of leaves that shrivel up and die, but we do it to receive a crown that never dies. [26] So now this is how I run—not without a clear goal in sight. I fight like a boxer in the ring, not like someone who is shadowboxing. [27] Rather, I’m landing punches on my own body and subduing it like a slave. I do this to be sure that I myself won’t be disqualified after preaching to others.
