Summary

This quote emphasizes the difference between love and friendship. Love is often driven by the desire for reward or reciprocation, seeking something in return. On the other hand, friendship is compared to godliness, as it is unconditional and does not expect any form of payment or reward in exchange. It suggests that genuine friendship is selfless and is characterized by giving without the expectation of anything in return, mirroring the selflessness of God's love.
