UST Surely you know that all the runners participate in a race, but in the end only one runner wins the race and takes the reward for winning. When you serve God, it is much like this kind of race. You need to work hard to gain what God has promised to you, just like the runner runs hard to win the race.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐκ οἴδατε, ὅτι οἱ ἐν σταδίῳ τρέχοντες, πάντες μὲν τρέχουσιν, εἷς δὲ λαμβάνει τὸ βραβεῖον?

not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known that the_‹ones› in /a/_stadium running all on_one_hand /are/_running one on_the_other_hand /is/_receiving the prize

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “yes, we know.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong statement. Alternate translation: [You certainly know that in a race all those who are running run, but only one receives the prize.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

οἱ ἐν σταδίῳ τρέχοντες, πάντες μὲν τρέχουσιν, εἷς δὲ λαμβάνει τὸ βραβεῖον? οὕτως τρέχετε, ἵνα καταλάβητε

the_‹ones› in /a/_stadium running all on_one_hand /are/_running one on_the_other_hand /is/_receiving the prize thus /be/_running in_order_that ˱you_all˲_/may/_grasp_‹it›

Here Paul begins using athletic metaphors, metaphors he will use throughout 9:24–27. In this verse, he focuses on footraces. In his culture, only the runner who finished first would receive the prize. The prize might be one of many things, but often it was a “wreath” of leaves (See: 9:25). Paul’s point is that the runner who wished to win had to work and train hard to be the best. Paul wants the Corinthians to approach their Christian lives with this mindset, the mindset of a successful athlete. Translate this verse in a way that clearly connects the Christian life to a footrace. Alternate translation: [only one runner receives the prize after a race? You should live your lives like a runner who focuses on receiving the prize]

οἱ ἐν σταδίῳ τρέχοντες, πάντες μὲν τρέχουσιν

the_‹ones› in /a/_stadium running all on_one_hand /are/_running

Alternate translation: [in a race everyone runs]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

βραβεῖον

prize

Here, prize refers to what a runner would receive after winning the race. In Paul’s culture, this would often be a “wreath” of leaves (9:25) and sometimes money. Use a word in your culture that refers generally to what an athlete receives after winning a contest. Alternate translation: [trophy] or [reward]
