What Does the Bible Say About While Competing?

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 ESV / 6 helpful votes

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.

But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
