God, Man, Love, and for Whose Sake

On loving oneself, one's neighbor, God, and how they all fit together, Augustine writes in On Christian Doctrine,

No sinner is to be loved as a sinner; and every man is to be loved as a man for God's sake; but God is to be loved for His own sake. And if God is to be loved more than any man, each man ought to love God more than himself. Likewise we ought to love another man better than our own body, because all things are to be loved in reference to God, and another man can have fellowship with us in the enjoyument of God, whereas our body cannot.
