ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૯:૨૭
હું મારા શરીરને શિસ્ત તથા સંયમમાં રાખું છું, રખેને બીજાઓને સુવાર્તા પ્રગટ કર્યા છતાં કદાચ હું પોતે પડતો મુકાઉં.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ९:२७
परन्तु मैं अपनी देह को मारता कूटता, और वश में लाता हूँ; ऐसा न हो कि औरों को प्रचार करके, मैं आप ही किसी रीति से निकम्मा ठहरूँ।

In context

25Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

26I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beating the air,

27but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
