People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body. "I buffet my body" (Revised Version). He
puts the body down by his blows, by self denial for Christ.
And bring [it] into subjection. "Into bondage" (Revised Version).
It shall not be his master, but his servant.
Lest . . . I myself should be a castaway. He keeps it under lest,
after having preached to others, he "should be rejected" (Revised
Version); that is, refused the prize of the crown. What an exhortation
to us is this example of the apostle! Continually vigilant lest he
should be finally rejected! Even he worked out his salvation "with fear
and trembling" (Philippians 2:12). Surely, he should "give all diligence to
make our calling and election sure" (2 Peter 1:10). In this worldly,
self-seeking, luxurious age "we should give the more earnest heed to
the things which we have heard" (Hebrews 2:1).
