“So then, my brethren, let us contend, knowing that the contest is nigh at hand, and that, while many resort to the corruptible contests, yet not all are crowned, but only they that have toiled hard and contended bravely. Let us then contend that we all may be crowned.” (Ancient Homily referred to as Saint Clement of Rome, Second Epistle to the Corinthians, circa A.D. 120–140)
