Let no man seek his own
His carnal pleasure and private advantage in eating things
sacrificed to "idols", to the hurt and disadvantage of his
brethren; otherwise it is lawful for a man to seek his own good,
temporal, spiritual, and eternal, to seek for the necessaries of
life, his spiritual peace and comfort, and his everlasting
welfare and happiness; but then he should not only seek his own,
but every man another's wealth,
or "that which is another's"; for the word "wealth" is not in the
original text. The apostle's meaning is, that a man, in the use
of things indifferent, should not seek the gratifying of his
sensual appetite or other passions, what may be pleasing or
profitable to himself; but should consult the profit and
edification of others.
