George Swinnock, English nonconformist minister, decries the proverb, “Charity begins at home.” He says it’s from the devil. You can’t love self rightly w/o loving neighbor.

But isn’t this an ethic of contemporary religiosity? Care for family, self, and those people can take care for themselves. These proverbs are in conflict.

How can you love neighbor and self together, in God?
