[Ecc 9:11 KJV] 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

[1Co 9:25-27 KJV] 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
