• 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Running such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 

(1 Corinthians 9:24-25)
