| Everyone who seeks a prize submits himself to rigorous self-discipline in every respect. They do so to win a perishable crown, while we seek an imperishable one. | Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. |
| Rather, I discipline my body and bring it under control, for fear that after preaching to others I myself may be disqualified. | But I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified. |
