{Let no man seek his own} (m(8864)eis to heautou z(8874)eit(935c)).
This is Paul's rule for social relations ( 1Co 13:5 Ga 6:2 Ro
14:7 15:2 Php 2:1ff. ) and is the way to do what is expedient
and what builds up. {His neighbour's good} ( o tou heterou).
Literally, "the affair of the other man." Cf. on heteron in
Ro 13:8 for this idea of heteros like ho pl(8873)ion (the nigh
man, the neighbour) in Ro 15:2 . This is loving your neighbour
as yourself by preferring your neighbour's welfare to your own
( Php 2:4 ).
