1 Corinthians 9:26 KJV

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

1 Corinthians 9:26, King James Version

In context

25 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.

26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27 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.
