“For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.” – Phil. 2:21
Without the Holy Spirit’s intervention, all seek (search for, desire, require, demand)…
NOT the things of Jesus (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; Gal. 5:22-23),
BUT their own things (adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; Gal. 5:19-21).
