They say that <i>dilectio</i> is used of a good affection,\r\n<i>amor</i> of an evil love. But it is very certain that even\r\nsecular literature knows no such distinction. However, it is\r\nfor the philosophers to determine whether and how they differ,\r\nthough their own writings sufficiently testify that they make\r\ngreat account of love (<i>amor</i>) placed on good objects, and even\r\non God Himself. But we wished to show that the Scriptures\r\nof our religion, whose authority we prefer to all writings whatsoever,\r\nmake no distinction between <i>amor</i>, <i>dilectio</i>, and <i>caritas</i>;\r\nand we have already shown that <i>amor</i> is used in a good connection.\r\nAnd if any one fancy that <i>amor</i> is no doubt used\r\nboth of good and bad loves, but that <i>dilectio</i> is reserved for\r\nthe good only, let him remember what the psalm says, \"He\r\nthat loveth (<i>diligit</i>) iniquity hateth his own soul;\"<a id=\"FNanchor_27_27\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_27_27\">[27]</a> and the\r\nwords of the Apostle John, \"If any man love (<i>diligere</i>) the\r\nworld, the love (<i>dilectio</i>) of the Father is not in him.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_28_28\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_28_28\">[28]</a> Here\r\nyou have in one passage <i>dilectio</i> used both in a good and a bad\r\nsense. And if any one demands an instance of <i>amor</i> being\r\nused in a bad sense (for we have already shown its use in a\r\ngood sense), let him read the words, \"For men shall be lovers\r\n(<i>amantes</i>) of their own selves, lovers (<i>amatores</i>) of money.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_29_29\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_29_29\">[29]</a></p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK FOURTEENTH.[1]","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-37"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"53f1cab5ae07ffa8fa7faab7b767e046c53ef61998fa426629520df3fe1b7155","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"1JN","chapter":2,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"1 John ii. 15","verse":15,"verse_end":15}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_28_28","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
