1 Corinthians 9:26

26Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.

26Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as 9:26 Lit not hittingto avoid hitting air;

26Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;

26Therefore I do not run without a definite goal; I do not flail around like one beating the air [just shadow boxing].

26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.

26So I do not run like someone who doesn’t run toward the finish line. I do not fight like a boxer who hits nothing but air.
