In context
10For the law conquers even affection toward parents, not surrendering virtue on their account.
11And it prevails over marriage love, condemning it when transgressing law.
— 4 Maccabees 2:12 —
13And think it not a strange assertion that reasoning can in behalf of the law conquer even enmity.
14It alloweth not to cut down the cultivated herbage of an enemy, but preserveth it from the destroyers, and collecteth their fallen ruins.
