2 Timothy 4:7

I have competed well; ¹  I have finished the race; I have kept the faith!

Pr 23:23; Lu 8:15; Lu 11:28; Joh 4:34; Joh 17:6; Ac 13:25; Ac 20:24; 1Co 9:24-27; Php 3:13,14; 1Ti 6:12; 1Ti 6:20; 2Ti 1:14; Heb 12:1,2; Re 3:8,10

¹ sn The expression I have competed well (Grk “I have competed the good competition”) uses words that may refer to a race or to a boxing or wrestling match: “run the good race” or “fight the good fight.” The similar phrase in 1 Tim 1:18 uses a military picture and is more literally “war the good warfare.”
