4 Maccabees 2:16-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

16. The sensible mind rejects these destructive emotions, along with anger, because it rules over that emotion as well.

17. When Moses was angry at Dathan and Abiram, he didn’t act against them in anger. Instead, he controlled his anger with clear thinking.

18. The sensible mind, as I have said, is able to get the upper hand over the emotions, transforming some and defeating others.
