Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
Don't just look out for yourself, actually care about what's good for other people too.
It's not all about you, make space for others to win.
📚 Historical Context
The Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to the early Christian church in Corinth, a bustling Greek city known for its moral laxity and cultural diversity, addressing issues like division, idolatry, and disputes over food offered to idols. In chapter 10, Paul draws lessons from Israel's history in the wilderness to warn believers against overconfidence and to emphasize living in a way that honors God and considers others. This verse specifically urges the Corinthians to prioritize the well-being of their fellow believers over personal interests, especially in matters of conscience and freedom.
