IV Maccabees 2:24

24 How, then, a man may say, if reasoning be master of the passions, has it no control over forgetfulness and ignorance?

IV Maccabees 2:24 In-Context

22 And at that time He enthroned above all the holy leader mind, through the medium of the senses.

23 And He gave a law to this mind, by living according to which it will maintain a temperate, and just, and good, and manly reign.

24 How, then, a man may say, if reasoning be master of the passions, has it no control over forgetfulness and ignorance?
