ððŠð°ððąð – 1 Corinthians 9 discusses how Paul believes he has the right to receive financial support from the church for his ministry, but he chooses to work and support himself to set an example. He then relates this to running a race and striving for a prize, and how he disciplines himself to ensure he does not disqualify himself from the ultimate prize of being with God in eternity.
Verse: "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize." – 1 Corinthians 9:24 ðð
