1 Corinthians 9:25 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9

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.
