But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak.

But I have used none of these rights, and I have not written this to make it happen that way for me. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast!

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a stewardship.

To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God's law but within Christ's law—to win those without the law.

Don't you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.

Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. However, they do it to receive a crown that will fade away, but we a crown that will never fade away.
