In context

23And before pain is fear; and after pain, sorrow.

24Wrath is an affection, common to pleasure and to pain, if anyone will pay attention when it comes upon him.

4 Maccabees 1:25

26In the soul it is arrogance, and love of money, and vaingloriousness, and contention, and faithlessness, and the evil eye.

27In the body it is greediness and gormandizing, and solitary gluttony.
