1. Korinterbrev 9,27

Self-controlFollowing JesusIntegrity

25 Alle som konkurrerer i lekene utøver selvkontroll i alle ting. Så de gjør det for å oppnå en forgjengelig krone, men vi en uforgjengelig.

26 Derfor løper jeg ikke uten mål; heller ikke slår jeg i luften som en bokser.

I stedet disiplinerer jeg strengt min kropp og gjør den til min slave, for at jeg etter å ha forkynt for andre, ikke skal bli diskvalifisert.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
