| I Corinthians 9:27 | But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest, perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become reprobate. | I chastise, etc. Here St. Paul shews the necessity of self-denial and mortification to subdue the flesh, and its inordinate desires. (Challoner) --- Not even the labours of an apostle are exemptions from voluntary mortification and penance. |
