they all seek after their own interests
From Philippians 2:19-24 -
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition. For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father. Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me; and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.
Wow. What would Paul say about you? Or me?
What would God say?
What will God say?

It is ironic that dispite others seeking after their own interests, that Timothy who is not looking for praise is the one that gets genuine recognition. Good reminder to re-evaluate.
