| Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. | 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. |
| But I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified. | But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. |
