even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.
if by any means I may provoke those who are my flesh to jealousy, and might save some of them.
so we the many are one body in Christ, and each one members of one another.
Let no one seek his own, but each one another's.
does not behave indecently, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil.
Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

For all seek their own, not the things which are of Jesus Christ.
forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always; but the wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
