Rebounding Is Critical 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 24 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. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a perishable crown that will not last, but we do it to earn an incorruptible crown that will last forever.

1 Corinthians 9:26-27 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a shadow boxer beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
