| 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. | Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. |
| No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. | But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. |
Bible verse of the day
As for God, his way is perfect:The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
