追求共同的益处 / Seek the Common Good

神的百姓即使身在异乡，也要为所在城市求平安。

Even in exile, God's people were told to seek the peace of their city.

共同益处包括安全、诚实、公平和对弱者的保护。

The common good includes safety, honesty, fairness, and protection for the weak.

我们不能只问这对我有什么好处。

We should not ask only, How does this benefit me?

基督徒应当努力使邻舍的生活更安稳。

Christians should work to make life more secure for their neighbors.
