4 Maccabees 1:17 In-Context

15 clear thinking then is the mind-set that uses plain logic to choose the life of wisdom.

16 Next, wisdom is the knowledge of divine and human behavior and what causes the behavior.

17 This knowledge in turn comes from the instruction provided by the Law, through which we learn about divine matters reverently and human matters to our advantage.

18 The different kinds of wisdom are good judgment, justice, courage, and self-control.

19 Good judgment is the ruler among these kinds of wisdom, because clear thinking controls the emotions with it.
