Chinese (traditional)But I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified. ![1 Corinthians 9:27 - NRSV](/images/simple/nrsv/1-corinthians-9-27.png)
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.
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 discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. But I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. Rather, I discipline my body and bring it under control, for fear that after preaching to others I myself may be disqualified. The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”Next verse!With image
