Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
The oldest manuscripts read, "Not looking each of you (plural, Greek) on his own things (that is, not having regard solely to them), but each of you on the things of others" also. Compare Phi 2:21; also Paul's own example (Phi 1:24).
The great law of Christ's kingdom is mutual love, and this must show itself in like-mindedness. When we have tasted consolation in Christ, we prove it by loving one another; the sweetness we find in Him should sweeten our spirits toward His people.

Commenting on Philippians 2:1-11
Do not seek your own honor and applause, or pride yourself in your gifts while neglecting others' superior abilities. Weigh the sentiments of others carefully; if their reasons outweigh yours, yield to them. This is the way to promote truth and love.
