Where do you find in the Bible for the race is not given to the swift nor to the strong but for those that endure until the end the same shall be saved?

Answer 1

Ecclesiastes 9:11 - I returned and saw under the sun that - The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

"...The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all." (NIV)

The verse is actually in the Old Testament, though a few New Testament verses refer to it (2 Timothy 4:7,8; Hebrews 12:1-3).

In order to address the last part of your question, combine Ecclesiastes with Matthew 10:22 in the 'New Testament" which says: "...he that endureth to the end shall be saved"(KJV)

Nowhere. It's a combination of two different scriptures, combined to give clearer meaning. Ecclesiastes 9:11 for the first part; many others for the last half about enduring til the end- most notably Acts 20:24 and 2 Timothy 4:7 which talk about running your race to the end and finishing the race.

Additional Comment:

The Apostle Paul, creating a picture of his mission as a 'race' uses the term for himself in 2 Timothy 4:7 and for us in Hebrews 12:1 as noted above. Your reference to 'not given to the swift' is part of Ecclesiastes 9:11. The 5 assets mentioned here referred to individuals who enjoyed each of these and planned and counted upon them in their lives. Swiftness is to Asahel in 2 Samuel 2:18 who had speed like a gazelle. Yet it didn't save his life. The message here is that God in the end, He determines our lot. Consider the 'strong' and there were none stronger than Samson yet his end was for God to determine.

The very end of the verse says, 'But time and chance happen to them all' which is a way of saying we each live in a world of probabilities. Leaving a place a moment earlier or later can cause us life of death.

Answer 2

Eccl:9:11: 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.

Answer 3

Nowhere as you have combined a couple of Scriptures in your question. See below:

Ecclesiastes 9:11New King James Version (NKJV)

11 I returned and saw under the sun that-

The race is not to the swift,

Nor the battle to the strong,

Nor bread to the wise,

Nor riches to men of understanding,

Nor favor to men of skill;

But time and chance happen to them all.

And the New Testament for the latter part in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark:

Mark 13:13New King James Version (NKJV)

13 And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Answer 4

Ecclesiastes 9:11New King James Version (NKJV)

11 I returned and saw under the sun that-

The race is not to the swift,

Nor the battle to the strong,

Nor bread to the wise,

Nor riches to men of understanding,

Nor favor to men of skill;

But time and chance happen to them all.
