Selah · Bible verse
1 Corinthians 9:27
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.
In context
25Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
26I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
27but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
