Philippians 2:21 Context
19But I trust in the Lord Iesus, to send Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may bee of good comfort, when I know your state. 20For I haue no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state. 21For all seeke their owne, not the things which are Iesus Christs. 22But ye know the proofe of him, That as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me, in the Gospel. 23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soone as I shall see how it wil goe with me.

Wesley's Notes for Philippians 2:21
2:21 For all - But Timotheus. Seek their own - Ease, safety, pleasure, or profit. Amazing! In that golden age of the church, could St. Paul throughly approve of one only, among all the labourers that were with him? #Php 1:14|,17. And how many do we think can now approve themselves to God? Not the things of Jesus Christ - They who seek these alone, will sadly experience this. They will find few helpers likeminded with themselves, willing naked to follow a naked Master.
People's Bible Notes for Philippians 2:21
Php 2:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. Others, who were at hand, were more mindful of their own interests than of Christ's cause. We infer from this that of his faithful fellow- preachers none were in Rome save Timothy.
