[9:24] Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. [9:25] And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. [9:26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: [9:27] But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
