NASB
"but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified."
— 1 Corinthians 9:27, NASB
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ”
“but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. ”
“but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.”
“Instead I subdue my body and make it my slave, so that after preaching to others I myself will not be disqualified.”
“But I chastise my body and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway. ”
“But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.”
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ”
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;
but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
