In context
19The leading one of these is prudence; by whose means, indeed, it is that reasoning bears rule over the passions.
20Of the passions, pleasure and pain are the two most comprehensive; and they also by nature refer to the soul.
— 4 Maccabees 1:21 —
22Before pleasure is lust; and after pleasure, joy.
23And before pain is fear; and after pain, sorrow.
