Bible Verses About Self-Denial: Paul

But I consider my own life of no importance to me whatsoever, as long as I can finish the course ahead of me, the task I received from the Lord Yeshua — to declare in depth the Good News of God’s love and kindness.

For although I am a free man, not bound to do anyone’s bidding, I have made myself a slave to all in order to win as many people as possible.

I treat my body hard and make it my slave so that, after proclaiming the Good News to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
