William Burkitt on 1 Corinthians 10:24

These words may be understood two ways:

1. Let no man seek his own, that is, only his own wealth.

2. Let no man seek his own wealth: that is, to the prejudice of others, though never so much to his own advantage;

teaching us, that it is the duty of every Christian not merely to look at his own profit and pleasure, but at the benefit and advantage of others, as that which edifies, or tends to promote holiness in others; and that in the use of our Christian liberty we must regard rather the edification and salvation of others, than the gratification of ourselves.
