What does the Bible say about "self interests" versus the interests of others?

VERSE:

Philippians 2:3-4 (New International Version)

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

LESSON:

What does the Bible say about "self interests" versus the interests of others? This verse calls us to show humility, and not to do things out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. It calls us take an interest in the interests of others...as we would consider our own interests.
