Every competitor disciplines himself completely — they do it for a crown that fades, but we for one that lasts forever.
Every athlete exercises self-mastery in all things — they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one.
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.
Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
