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 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.

αλλα δαμαζω το σωμα μου και δουλαγωγω, μηπως εις αλλους κηρυξας εγω γεινω αδοκιμος.

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.
