ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૯:૨૫
પ્રત્યેક પહેલવાન સર્વ પ્રકારે સ્વદમન કરે છે; તેઓ તો વિનાશી મુગટ પામવા માટે એવું કરે છે; પણ આપણે અવિનાશી મુગટ પામવા માટે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ९:२५
और हर एक पहलवान सब प्रकार का संयम करता है, वे तो एक मुर्झानेवाले मुकुट को पाने के लिये यह सब करते हैं, परन्तु हम तो उस मुकुट के लिये करते हैं, जो मुर्झाने का नहीं।

In context

23Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

24Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, so that you may win.

25Every 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.

26I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,

27but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
