This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Having said we must not please ourselves, he immediately subjoins, we must please others, viz. every one his neighbour: he means, that we should condescend and accommodate ourselves to others, and give them satisfaction in all things; at least so far as may tend to their good and edification. You had a like passage, Rom_14:19. The apostle exhorts the Corinthians to a practice some what like this, 1Co_10:24; and he leads them the way by is own example, 1Co_9:19 1Co_10:33. There is a pleasing of men which is sinful, and there is a pleasing of men which is lawful; and that is, when it is limited, as in this text.
