Games: Foot Races

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.

Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.

I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.

…as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
