In context
20For if reasoning did not possess the power of subduing angry affections, he would not have spoken thus.
21For at the time when God created man, He implanted within him his passions and moral nature.
— 4 Maccabees 2:22 —
23And He gave a law to this mind, by living according to which it will maintain a temperate, and just, and good, and manly reign.
24How, then, a man may say, if reasoning be master of the passions, has it no control over forgetfulness and ignorance?
