For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

To those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

Now everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
