‏ 1 Corinthians 10:24

Let no man seek his own ( μηδεις το εαυτου ζητειτω ). This is Paul's rule for social relations (1Co 13:5; Ga 6:2; Ro 14:7; 15:2; Php 2:1ff.) and is the way to do what is expedient and what builds up.

His neighbour's good ( το του ετερου ). Literally, "the affair of the other man." Cf. τον ετερον in Ro 13:8 for this idea of ετερος like ο πλησιον (the nigh man, the neighbour) in Ro 15:2. This is loving your neighbour as yourself by preferring your neighbour's welfare to your own (Php 2:4).
