1 Corinthians 10:24

Let no man seek his own— This precept cannot be taken in a strict and literal sense, but should be interpreted comparatively, so as to understand the Apostle as exhorting them not to seek their own advantage entirely, or not so much as that of others. Mr. Locke's paraphrase is, "No one must seek barely his own private particular interest alone, but let every one seek the good of others also."
