No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

But{G235} I keep under{G5299}{(G5719)} my{G3450} body{G4983}, and{G2532} bring it into subjection{G1396}{(G5719)}: lest that by any means{G3381}{G4458}, when I have preached{G2784}{(G5660)} to others{G243}, I myself{G846} should be{G1096}{(G5638)} a castaway{G96}.
Strong's King James
(27) but rather I wear down (discipline) my body and make it my slave! So that after proclaiming to others, I myself won't be disqualified!
The F.O.G*
[27] I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, after preaching to others, I myself might be disqualified.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.
