What does the Bible say about seeking others' benefit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we should seek the benefit of others rather than our own.

In 1 Corinthians 10:24, Paul instructs believers not to seek their own profit but the profit of many. This principle challenges the natural inclination to prioritize our interests and comfort over the well-being of others. The Christian life calls us to a self-denying love that seeks to uplift and encourage our brethren, demonstrating the love of Christ in tangible ways. By putting others first, believers reflect the heart of Christ, who came to serve rather than be served, thereby glorifying God and fostering an environment of mutual support and growth within the church.
