1 Corinthians 9:24 — Community Reflections

1 CORINTHIANS 9:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”

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. — The athletic metaphor: competitors in the stadion (race) aim for the prize (brabeion). Only one wins, yet all run to win. Paul applies this to Christian life: trechō (run, pursue) in such a way as to obtain the prize. The metaphor embodies intensity and single-mindedness.
