- 1 Corinthians 9:26
Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 9:262 voices
I run straight toward it. I cast away every weight, regard not any that stand by. I fight not as one that beateth the air - This is a proverbial expression for a man's missing his blow, and spending his strength, not on his enemy, but on empty air.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
Ye Corinthians gain no end in your entering idol temples or eating idol meats. But I, for my part, in all my acts, whether in my becoming "all things to all men," or in receiving no sustenance from my converts, have a definite end in view, namely, to "gain the more." I know what 1 aim at, and how to aim at it.
