1 CORINTHIANS 9:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:”
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. — Paul's negative example: not to run stochastikōs (aimlessly), lacking aim. Nor to fight like one striking the air—shadowboxing without real opponent. The metaphor underscores purpose: Paul's labor is directed, intentional, not wasted effort.
