We are not born for ourselves (George Gillespie)

[Reformed Covenanter]

The heathens themselves could say, that we are born, partly for God, partly for our Country, partly for our friends, &c. How much more ought Christians to understand, that we are not born for ourselves, but for Christ and his Church?

George Gillespie, A dispute against the English-popish ceremonies, obtruded upon the Church of Scotland (n.p., 1637), Part IV, p. 9.

P.S. I could not fit the whole quote into the meme with this one.
