This, however, does not mean that we are to be busy bodies poking our nose where it does not belong. The Christian has no right to live his life by the law of the jungle. If we live our Christian life in community we cannot simply look out for number one. Looking out for our own interests to the exclusion of others is the rule of the braggart and bully. The person who is others oriented looks for qualities and good points in fellow Christians.
Some believers compare everything to themselves.
They measure all people and situations up against their own viewpoint. This verse says that we are to step out of our viewpoint so that we are no longer an island where we alone are sovereign. This is a root cause of disunity. An acid test of our Christian life is to love others who can be of no use to us. The Christian makes a place for others.
