 As a vigorous wrestler, he kept under his body, which would have hindered him. There was reality in his pursuit of heaven: he would tolerate nothing that opposed it. (1 Corinthians 9 by J.N. Darby)
 “Lest...I myself should be a castaway.”That is, “reprobate” — worthless refuse, as Jeremiah 6:30; 2 Corinthians 13:57; 2 Timothy 3:8; Titus 1:16. Not merely one’s service rejected and thus one set aside, but unconverted preachers like Judas will, in the end, be exposed, to their everlasting shame. Many baptized never reached Canaan in the following twelve verses. Counterfeits never were genuine. (Help on Hard Verses by A.C. Brown)
 It is an utter mistake to suppose that the language of the Apostle supposes any fear of perdition for his own soul. He had grave fears for those who were living at ease and carelessly. It is very possible for a man to preach to others, and be lost himself; but such an one does not buffet the body, nor bring it into subjection. Had the Apostle lived without conscience, he must have assuredly been lost, as indeed one of the twelve was. Here we are shown the inseparable connection between a holy walk along the way, and eternal life at the end of it. (Notes in 1 Corinthians 9:15-27 by W. Kelly)
