SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:24
Ninguno busque su propio bien, sino el del otro.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:24
Verse 24. Let no man seek his own, &c.] Let none, for his private gratification or emolument, disturb the peace or injure the soul of another. Let every man live, not for himself, but for every part of the great human family with which he is surrounded.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Let no man seek his own , etc.] His carnal pleasure and private advantage in eating things sacrificed to idols, to the hurt and disadvantage of his brethren; otherwise it is lawful for a man to seek his own good, temporal, spiritual, and eternal, to seek for the necessaries of life, his spiritual peace and comfort, and his everlasting welfare and happiness; but then he should not only seek his own, but every man anothers wealth , or that which is anothers; for the word wealth is not in the original text. The apostles meaning is, that a man, in the use of things indifferent, should not seek the gratifying of his sensual appetite or other passions, what may be pleasing or profitable to himself; but should consult the profit and edification of others.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-33 - There were cases wherein Christians might eat what had been offered to idols, without sin. Such as when the flesh was sold in the market a common food, for the priest to whom it had been given. But a Christia must not merely consider what is lawful, but what is expedient, and to edify others. Christianity by no means forbids the common offices of kindness, or allows uncourteous behaviour to any, however they ma differ from us in religious sentiments or practices. But this is not to be understood of religious festivals, partaking in idolatrous worship According to this advice of the apostle, Christians should take car not to use their liberty to the hurt of others, or to their ow reproach. In eating and drinking, and in all we do, we should aim a the glory of God, at pleasing and honouring him. This is the great en of all religion, and directs us where express rules are wanting. holy, peaceable, and benevolent spirit, will disarm the greates enemies __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
24. Another's wealth (to tou eterou). Lit., that which is the other's. Wealth, inserted by A.V. is used in the older English sense of well-being. See on Acts xix. 25. The A.V. also ignores the force of the article, the other. Rev., much better, his neighbor's good.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:24 {Let no man seek his own} (medeis to heautou zeteitw). 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 neighbor's good} (to tou heterou). Literally, "the affair of the other man." Cf. ton heteron in #Ro 13:8 for this idea of heteros like ho plesion (the nigh man, the neighbor) in #Ro 15:2. this is loving your neighbor as yourself by preferring your neighbor's welfare to your own (#Php 2:4).
