1 Corinthians 9:26

I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:

So I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air.

So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as to avoid hitting air;

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

Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.
