    "Finish the race" is a phrase from the Bible that appears in 2 Timothy 4:7, where the apostle Paul writes, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”:

    Paul wrote this near the end of his life to reflect on his struggles in preaching the gospel of Christ and his victory over them.
