4 Maccabees 15:1
Print
How the clear thinking of these children was a tyrant over their emotions and how respecting God was more precious to the mother than her own children!
O reason of the children, tyrant over the emotions! O religion, more desirable to the mother than her children!
O reason of the children, tyrant over the passions! O piety, more desirable to the mother than her children!
O reason of the children, tyrant over the emotions! O religion, more desirable to the mother than her children!
