Sports

Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.

For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

The glory of young men is their strength, and gray hair is the splendor of the old.

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.

But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

…or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.

Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
