Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
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.
Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.
All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.
Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one.
