"So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I disciplined my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified." (1 Corinthians 9:26-27)
When Paul says he might be disqualified, he doesn't mean he could lose his salvation, but rather that he could lose his privilege of telling others about Christ. It's easy to tell others how to live and then not take our own advice. We must be careful to "practice what we preach".
