1 Corinthians 9:24 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9

22 J’ai été faible avec les faibles, afin de gagner les faibles. Je me suis fait tout à tous, afin d’en sauver de toute manière quelques-uns.

23 Je fais tout à cause de l’Évangile, afin d’y avoir part.

24 Ne savez-vous pas que ceux qui courent dans le stade courent tous, mais qu’un seul remporte le prix? Courez de manière à le remporter.

25 Tous ceux qui combattent s’imposent toute espèce d’abstinences, et ils le font pour obtenir une couronne corruptible; mais nous, faisons-le pour une couronne incorruptible.

26 Moi donc, je cours, non pas comme à l’aventure; je frappe, non pas comme battant l’air.
