Verse 2
All Christians, not just the strong, need to apply this principle of love. Paul was not saying that we should be "people pleasers" and do whatever anyone wants us to do simply because it will please them (cf. Galatians 1:10; Galatians 1:19; Ephesians 6:6; Colossians 3:22; 1 Thessalonians 2:4). The goal of our behavior should be the other person’s welfare and spiritual edification (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23). We should not please others rather than God, but we should please others rather than ourselves.
