Augustine of Hippo, on 1Cor 9:27

“But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.”

“Paul chastises what is of him and not what is himself. For what is of him is one thing, what is himself is another. He chastises what is of him so that he, being just, may bring about the death of bodily wantonness.”
