'Selfish' in the Bible

He who is selfish seeks a craving; against all sound judgment he shows contempt.

[it] does not behave dishonorably, [it] {is not selfish}, [it] does not become angry, [it] does not keep a record of wrongs,

For I am afraid lest somehow [when I] arrive, I will not find you as I want, and I may be found by you as you do not want. [I am afraid] lest somehow [there will be] strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, pride, disorder.

The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction in my imprisonment.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
