1 Cor 9-16

24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Activity, but from confidence in its source.
