4 Maccabees 2:22

22 At that time, God also set the mind on the throne in the middle of the senses, to function as a holy governor over them all.

4 Maccabees 2:22 In-Context

20 If clear thinking couldn't control anger, he wouldn't have said this.

21 When God formed human beings, God planted emotions and character traits inside them.

22 At that time, God also set the mind on the throne in the middle of the senses, to function as a holy governor over them all.

23 God gave the Law to the mind. Whoever lives in line with the Law will rule over a kingdom that is self-controlled, just, good, and courageous.

24 Someone might say, "Then why doesn't clear thinking control memory loss and ignorance, if it is in charge of the emotions?" But that argument is completely ridiculous.
