Bible verses about "selfishness" | ECB

⁹ You face aboundingly, and behold, little; and when you bring it home, I puff thereon: Why? - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth because my house is parched, and you, every man runs to his own house:

³² For if you love them who love you, what charism is yours? - for sinners also love those who love them: ³³ and whenever you do good to them who do good to you, what charism is yours? - for even sinners also do the same: ³⁴ and whenever you lend from whom you hope to take, what charism is yours? - for sinners also lend to sinners to take equal.

PLEASING SELF
So we who are able are indebted to bear the frailties of the impotent and not to please ourselves. ² Indeed, each of us is to please his neighbour for good to edification. ³ For even the Messiah pleased not himself; but exactly as scribed, The reproaches of them who reproached you fell on me:

³⁵ I exemplified all, how that thus laboring, you ought to support the frail, and to remember the words of Adonay Yah Shua, how he says, It is more blessed to give than to take.

¹⁶ For where there are zeal and strife, there are instability and every evil matter.

¹⁶ and forget not to do good and communion: for Elohim is well-pleased with such sacrifices.

²⁶ - not being vainglorious, irritating one another, envying one another.

⁴ No one who wars entangles himself with the transactions of existence; so as to please him who enlisted him.

²¹ For all seek their own - not those of Yah Shua Messiah.

² Bear the burdens of one another and thus fulfil the torah of the Messiah.

SUBJUGATING AND RESISTING
\ul0 Whence are wars and strifes among you? Are they not from your pleasures warring in your members? ² You pant and have not: you murder and are jealous and unable to obtain: you strive and war: and you still have not because you ask not.

⁴ Love is patient and is kind, love is never jealous, love never brags, never puffs, ⁵ never misbehaves, never self-seeking, never easily agitated, never reckons evil, ⁶ never cheers in injustice but co-cheers in the truth,

³ naught through rivalry or vainglory; but in humblemindedness esteem each other superior to self: ⁴ each not scoping for ones own self, but each also on those of others.

²⁴ Seek not for your own, but each for the other.

¹⁷ But whoever has the subsistence of this cosmos and observes his brother has need and shuts his spleen from him - how abides the love of Elohim in him?

² For there becomes humanity befriending self, befriending silver, braggarts, proud, blasphemers, distrusting to parents, uneucharistic, unmercied, ³ selfish, disagreeable, diabolic, uncontrollable, savage, unfriendly, ⁴ traitors, precipitous, inflated: befriending pleasures more than befriending Elohim;

⁴ each not scoping for ones own self, but each also on those of others.
