KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
I discipline myself and keep my body in check, making sure I practice what I preach. The last thing I want is to spend my life telling others how to live right, only to mess up and disqualify myself in the end.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
You can't guide others where you won't go yourself — self-discipline isn't optional when you're leading people.
