Not only to your own interest
“Each of you should look not only to your own interests,
but also to the interests of others.”
Here Paul is telling us to lookout for others as well as ourselves.
In the book of James we read,
“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.” James 2:14-18.
So are you looking out for your own interest or others as well?
Please think about it.
