Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The course run by a
Christian
is compared to races in which “one receiveth the prize”: with the exhortation, “So run that ye may obtain” (
1 Cor. 9:24-27
24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Corinthians 9:24‑27)
). The prize that
Paul
was stretching forward to win was that of being with and like the
Lord
in the
glory
(
Phil. 3:14
14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
).
