Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(rush). As a public game, not patronized by Hebrews. A favorite game with Greeks and Romans (
1 Cor. 9:24
24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (1 Corinthians 9:24)
;
Heb. 12:1
1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
One of the Grecian contests used by the
apostle
to illustrate the
Christian
race. All ran, but only one received the
prize
; let each, casting aside every weight and
sin
, so run as to obtain; not for a fading
crown
(of laurel, pine, or parsley), but an incorruptible one (
1 Cor. 9:24-25
24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
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. (1 Corinthians 9:24‑25)
;
Heb. 12:1
1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1)
). This is not a contest in which the unconverted have to strive, with the aim of obtaining
salvation
; but it is a race the Christian has to run as a matter of experience.
Paul
said, “I press toward the
mark
for the prize of the high
calling
of
God
in Christ
Jesus
”—of being with Him in the
glory
(
Phil. 3:14
14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
