1 Corinthians 9:25-27 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

25. Every athlete in training submits to strict discipline, in order to be crowned with a wreath that will not last; but we do it for one that will last for ever.

26. That is why I run straight for the finishing line; that is why I am like a boxer who does not waste his punches.

27. I harden my body with blows and bring it under complete control, to keep myself from being disqualified after having called others to the contest.
