Brabeion is the award set before a runner or pursued as the goal of pressing on.

The two occurrences use the noun for an award associated with athletic striving: one runner receives it, and it stands at the goal toward which the speaker presses.

   In 1 Corinthians 9:24, the accusative singular neuter form occurs in the contrast between all who run and the one who receives the award; the APB renders the verse, "those who run in a stadium all run, but one receives the prize." In Philippians 3:14, the same form is tied to pressing toward a goal; the APB renders, "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "prize" in both verses, once as what a runner receives and once as what lies at the goal of pressing on. This reflects the clauses' presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
