THE DOCTRINE OF CHARITY
It is a common saying that everyone is neighbor to himself, that is, that one should take care of himself first of all. The doctrine of charity teaches how the case herein is. Everyone is neighbor to himself, not in the first, but in the last place. In a prior place are others who are in good; in a still prior place is a society of many; in a place still prior is our country; in a place still prior is the church; in a place still prior is the Lord's kingdom; and above all men and all things is the Lord.

TEACHINGS ABOUT CHARITY
It is quite common for people to say that everyone is a neighbour to himself, that is, everyone ought to take care of himself first; and teachings about charity show in what way this is true. Though everyone is a neighbour to himself, this is not of the first but of the last and lowest importance. Others governed by good are of prior importance, and then - in ascending degrees of importance - a community consisting of a number of people, one's country, the Church, and the Lord's kingdom; and above all people and all things comes the Lord.
