In context
12But we may now at once enter upon the question, having commenced, as is our wont, with laying down the doctrine, and so proceed to the account of these persons, giving glory to the all wise God.
13The question, therefore, is, whether reasoning be absolute master of the passions.
— 4 Maccabees 1:14 —
15Reasoning is, then, intellect accompanied by a life of rectitude, putting foremost the consideration of wisdom.
16And wisdom is a knowledge of divine and human things, and of their causes.
