Passage 7

In English

Everyone loves for his own sake. No one loves for another’s sake. The reason: selfishness. Man loves objects in his own interest, not for the sake of those objects. He loves money for his own enjoyment, not for money’s sake. People also love God for their own petty ends, not for God. Truly, if we search the world over, there is no person who loves God for God’s sake. There is only selfishness, selfishness, selfishness.
