Seeking the
good of others so that they may be saved
1 Cor 10:24
24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of
others.
1 Cor 10:33
33 even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but
the good of many, so
that they may be saved.
Rom 15: 1, 2
We who
are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their
good, to build them up.
1 Cor 13:5
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Php 2:4, 21
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you
to the interests of the others.
We learn the
following from the above verses
1) We are to seek the good of others so
that they may be saved
2) Paul was trying to please everyone so
that they may be saved
3) We are to be strong to bear the
failings of the weak and please our neighbors to build them up.
4) Love does not dishonor others, it is not
self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs
5) We are to show the humility of Jesus
in our lives towards others
