Bible Verses About Self-Denial: Paul

But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Yeshua, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

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.
