In context
24Wrath is an affection, common to pleasure and to pain, if anyone will pay attention when it comes upon him.
25And there exists in pleasure a malicious disposition, which is the most multiform of all the affections.
— 4 Maccabees 1:26 —
27In the body it is greediness and gormandizing, and solitary gluttony.
28As pleasure and pain are, therefore, two growths of the body and the soul, so there are many offshoots of these passions.
