22 For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom ; 27 Are you bound to a wife ? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife ? Do not seek a wife. 24 Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor. 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. 5 does not act unbecomingly ; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 12 So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.
