Melachim B 15:29

Verse 29. And it is when falsity from the interior evil of self-love rules in the church, that the corrupted rational faculty also prevails, that faculty which deceives and leads captive the powers of the external man, which ought to engage in conflict against self-love. And thus the external man is led captive as to its inmost truth and good; as to its interior truth and good; as to exterior truth and good; and as to the ultimate life of good.
