Romans 15:2–"Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up."
This is a decidedly-foreign attitude to take towards the people around us (our neighbors). We're so far more prone to belittling, criticism, negligence, and disregard. But this verse exhorts a different perspective, another way to love those we are blessed to have in our lives. We are called to love our neighbors in order to build them up.
This is the very essence of Christianity as it pertains to loving one another. We do it to build them up.
Love, plain and simple.
