“You can’t please everybody.”

How often I have heard that!

But what about this verse?

“Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” (1 Corinthians 10:33).

As I recall, in other Scriptures, Paul says and/or shows that he did not try to please everybody.

So just what does the above verse mean?

I don’t know.

But I am challenged to pursue the good of another, even at the expense of my own good.
