Question

1. I did it for your own good
2. I did for your sake.

Which is the correct?
Which sounds more natural?

Answer

Both sound natural. They are very similar in meaning, though a native speaker is likely to use them with this nuance:

1. "I did it for your own good." = "You may think what I did is not what's best for you. However, I see the situation differently and did what I know to be best for you."

2. "I did it for your sake." = "I did this primarily because it is what you would have wanted me to do." (On my own, I might have chosen something different.)

I hope that helps!
