1 Corinthians 9:26 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9

24 ¿No sabéis que los que corren en el estadio, todos á la verdad corren, mas uno lleva el premio? Corred de tal manera que [lo] obtengáis.

25 Y todo aquel que lucha, de todo se abstiene: y ellos, á la verdad, para recibir una corona corruptible; mas nosotros, incorruptible.

26 Así que, yo de esta manera corro, no como á cosa incierta; de esta manera peleo, no como quien hiere el aire:

27 Antes hiero mi cuerpo, y lo pongo en servidumbre; no sea que, habiendo predicado á otros, yo mismo venga á ser reprobado.
