In this verse, he focuses on footraces. In his culture, only the runner who finished first would receive **the prize**. The **prize** might be many things, but often it was a “wreath” of leaves (see [9:25](../09/25.md)). Paul’s point is that the runner who wished to win had to work and train hard to be the best. Paul wants the Corinthians to approach their Christian lives with this mindset, the mindset of a successful athlete. Translate this verse in a way that clearly connects the Christian life to a footrace. Alternate translation: “only one runner receives the prize after a race? You should live your lives like a runner who focuses on receiving the prize” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exmetaphor]]) 1CO 9 24 gb46 οἱ ἐν σταδίῳ τρέχοντες, πάντες μὲν τρέχουσιν 1 run Alternate translation: “in a race everyone runs” 1CO 9 24 mh8z translate-unknown βραβεῖον 1 So run in such a way that you might obtain it Here, **prize** refers to what a runner would receive after winning the race. In Paul’s culture, this would often be a “wreath” of leaves ([9:25](../09/25.md)) and sometimes money. Use a word in your culture that refers generally to what an athlete receives after winning a contest.

The same word can be translated as “crown.” Paul is using this double sense to compare the wreath which would dry up to a crown of eternal life that will never decay.

Alternate translation: “every competitor in athletic competitions” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translatve/translate-unknown]]) +1CO 9 25 mypo translate-unknown ἐγκρατεύεται 1 a wreath that is perishable … one that is imperishable Here Paul specifically has in mind the way an athlete only eats certain foods, trains their body in difficult ways, and behaves differently than most other people. All of this requires **self-control**. He implies at the end of the verse that **we** too must exercise **self-control**. If possible, use a word or phrase that refers to athletic training but that can be applied to the Christian life as well.
