1 Corinthians 9:27

ἀλλ' ὑπωπιάζω μου τὸ σῶμα καὶ δουλαγωγῶ, μήπως, ἄλλοις κηρύξας, αὐτὸς ἀδόκιμος γένωμαι.
all' ypōpiazō moy to sōma kai doylagōgō, mēpōs, allois kēryxas, aytos adokimos genōmai.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
