A frequent misinterpretation views the phrase 'another's wealth' literally as encouraging the pursuit of others' material possessions, potentially justifying theft, envy, or communal ownership of property like in socialism; however, 'wealth' here translates the Greek for 'good' or 'interest,' meaning to seek the benefit and edification of others rather than their belongings.
I Corinthians 10:24
King James Version (1769)
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
This verse teaches selfless love in the Christian community, urging believers to prioritize the well-being and spiritual good of others over personal gain or convenience, as exemplified in the broader context of avoiding actions that might cause weaker brothers to stumble, such as eating food offered to idols; it reflects the mindset of Christ who sought not his own will but the Father's and others' redemption.
