1 Corinthians 9:25 - 27

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air, but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls.
