But for those who are self-seeking The phrase "self-seeking" is translated from the Greek word "eritheia," which originally referred to a mercenary or someone who works for hire. In the context of Romans, it denotes a spirit of selfish ambition and rivalry. Historically, this term was used to describe political maneuvering and divisive actions. In a spiritual sense, it reflects a heart that prioritizes personal gain over God's will, leading to division and strife within the community of believers. This self-centeredness is contrary to the Christian call to love and serve others selflessly, as exemplified by Christ. and who reject the truth and follow wickedness there will be wrath and anger That are contentious.--An error in the Authorised version through a wrong derivation of the word. Strictly, To those who act in the spirit of a hireling; hence, according to the secondary meaning of the word, "to those who act in a spirit of factiousness and self-seeking." It is, however, quite possible that the mistaken derivation may have been current in St. Paul's time, as it was, no doubt, somewhat later, from Origen downwards. St. Paul, it is true, distinguishes between the proper word for "contention" and that used here (e.g., in 2Corinthians 12:20; Galatians 5:20), but this would not exclude, it would rather seem to imply, not indeed a formal derivation, but some association of ideas. The shade of meaning will, perhaps, be expressed if we translate by some such word as "factiousness." So in Philippians 1:16 (properly Philippians 1:17, the order of the clauses being reversed), "the one (the other) preach Christ of factiousness." . . .
