1 Corinthians 9:25

Topic: SELF-CONTROL

“And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.”

1 Corinthians 9:25

Paul compares following Jesus to training for a race, where athletes practice strict discipline to win a temporary crown. He reminds us that our spiritual “race” leads to an eternal reward worth every bit of self-control and dedication.
