For whatever the philosophers may have ever said of the chief good, it is nothing but cold and vain, for they confined man to himself, while it is necessary for us to go out of ourselves to find happiness. The chief good of man is nothing else but union with God; this is attained when we are formed according to him as our exemplar.
John Calvin, Commentary on Hebrews (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2009) 98.
