1 Corinthians 9:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 And every man that proveth masteries, [a]abstaineth from all things: and they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we for an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly: so fight I, not as one that beateth the air.
27 But I beat down my [b]body, and bring it into subjection, lest by any means after that I have preached to others, I myself should be [c]reproved.
