King James Version

What does 1 Corinthians 10:24 mean? โ†’

Passage Context

22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
26For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHopeCompassion

Amazingly, the more we attempt to handle things on our own, the more we prioritize "watching out for number one," and the more we alienate ourselves from the important connections that make life worthwhile. The phrase says, "If you want a friend, then be a friend." I tell you what, it's true! It's simple to look out exclusively for our own interests. That is what the majority of people automatically do. However, the desire of Christians to put the needs of others above their own is what distinguishes them as followers of God and makes them redemptive.

Prayer

Father, please pardon me, as I am aware that I often act selfishly and seldom consider the effects of the choices I make on the needs of others. With everyone who needs your grace and the kindness you have given me to share with them, I want to have the mentality of Christ and to be more unselfish and sacrificial. Bless me as I try to live this part of my life like your Son. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.
