1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Proverbs 13:4
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
World English Bible
Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air, but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
King James Version
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Proverbs 13:4
World English Bible
The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
King James Version
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
