SIL Translator’s Notes on 1 Corinthians 9:24

9:24a Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize?

Surely you (plur.) know that when people take part in a race, all of them run, but only one receives the prize.
-or-
Think about this: All the competitors run on the race track, but there is only one person who wins.

9:24b Run in such a way as to take the prize.

You (plur.) should run in the way that will win you the prize.
-or-
So, just as runners run to win, you should live your life to get God’s prize.
