Which book of the Bible contains the 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"?

Correct Answer

B) 1 Corinthians

In 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Paul uses athletic training as a metaphor for spiritual discipline. He compares the Christian life to running a race and boxing, emphasizing that just as athletes exercise strict self-control to win a perishable crown, we should train even harder for an imperishable one. This perfectly parallels today's theme—while physical training has temporary rewards, spiritual training yields eternal benefits. Paul even says he "disciplines his body" to ensure he won't be disqualified after preaching to others, showing that spiritual fitness requires even more dedication than physical fitness.
