Competition

With what or whom are we competing... If we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood? What would happen if we truly believed that we had more might, strength, and power than ANY AND ALL power, principality, ruler, might, or dominion? What if we really believed that we are in a battle... A wrestling match... Or a race... and that if we truly understood that we were sent by our KING to represent HIS KINGDOM in this race KNOWING that we were THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED to win... To tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy and NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HARM US? What would happen in life if we really understood that, "my life is hid with Christ IN God"... And that the "life that I now live in the flesh, I live... by the faith ... OF ... the Son of God"? - I now live by what HE BELIEVES! How would I view each precious day if I realized that all that needed to be done to win was already accomplished, and that all authority in heaven and on earth was given to the very ONE whom has told me to "GO!"... In HIS name... In HIS place... In HIS STEAD... To represent HIM and to demonstrate the power of HIS kingdom ... HERE and NOW? New American Standard Bible (©1995) Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, New American Standard Bible (©1995) Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010) Do you not know that those who run in the stadium all run, but there is one who takes the victory? Run in this way so that you may obtain. Not competing against each other... But still will have prepared, buffeted our bodies daily, and run... So we WILL win International Standard Version (©2008) No, I keep on discipline my body, making it serve me so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified. Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010) But I subdue my body and I enslave it, lest I who have preached to others would be disqualified myself. New Living Translation (©2007) I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. English Standard Version (©2001) But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. New American Standard Bible (©1995) "Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. International Standard Version (©2008) All of you must stay awake and pray that you won't be tempted. The spirit is indeed willing, but the body is weak."
