In context
13The question, therefore, is, whether reasoning be absolute master of the passions.
14Let us determine, then, What is reasoning? and what passion? and how many forms of the passions? and whether reasoning bears sway over all of these?
— 4 Maccabees 1:15 —
16And wisdom is a knowledge of divine and human things, and of their causes.
17And this is contained in the education of the law; by means of which we learn divine things reverently, and human things profitably.
