21To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.
22To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.
23And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.
24Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.
25And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.
26So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:
27But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.
