88. From what has now been said, it is plain that in a universal sense, good is the neighbour; since a man is a neighbour according to the quality of the good which is with him from the Lord. And inasmuch as good is the neighbour, so also is love, for all good belongs to love; wherefore, also, every man is a neighbour according to the quality of the love which he has from the Lord.
