even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
