The Bible verse that speaks to the idea of "not many winners" is 1 Corinthians 9:24, which states, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it." This verse uses the analogy of a footrace to illustrate that while many strive for victory, only one can be the ultimate victor. However, the verse also encourages believers to strive for victory, implying that while not everyone will achieve earthly success, they should still run with purpose and determination to receive their spiritual reward.
