    John Wesley emphasizes the Christian duty to please our neighbors for their good and edification, as stated in Romans 15:2. He acknowledges that while it is impossible to please everyone, we should strive to do so with the right intentions, focusing on their spiritual and eternal well-being rather than mere temporary satisfaction. Wesley critiques various writings on the subject that fail to prioritize the true purpose of pleasing others, which is to build them up in love and holiness. He outlines practical steps to achieve this, including removing hindrances, cultivating love and humility, and being truthful and sincere in our interactions. Ultimately, he concludes that to please men, we must first please God, allowing truth and love to guide our actions.
