by RS  admin@creationpie.com : 1024 x 640


1. Running in vain

The word "vain" here means "for nothing".

2. Philippians 2:16
 All 
KJV: Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Greek: λογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα
Latin: verbum vitae continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi quia non in vacuum cucurri neque in vacuum laboravi

3. Running
The only running in Philippians is in 2:16.
Verse routePhilippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. [kjv]
Verse routeλογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα [gnt]

In ancient times, the Corinth games were second only to the Olympic games. Paul uses the running a race analogy.
Verse route1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. [kjv]
Verse routeουκ οιδατε οτι οι εν σταδιω τρεχοντες παντες μεν τρεχουσιν εις δε λαμβανει το βραβειον ουτως τρεχετε ινα καταλαβητε [gnt]

The ancient Greek word "τρέχω""run" as in a race and the English word "trek" and as the name of the bicycle company "Trek" or the "trek" in "Star Trek". This word is related to "δρόμος""run" and is part of the English words "palindrome", "syndrome" and "dromedary" as in a "camel".
