"Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:4).


 

 

 

(The verse doesn't say 'first'.)

An editor maybe wrote the title for the day’s lesson.

In any case, the prior verse, 2:3, implies something similar:

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” ESV
