4 Maccabees 15:5
Print
To the extent that mothers are weaker and give birth to many, that’s how much more they love their children.
Considering that mothers are the weaker sex and give birth to many, they are more devoted to their children.
For to the extent that mothers are of tender spirit and bear more children, so much the more attached are they to their children.
Considering that mothers are the weaker sex and give birth to many, they are the more devoted to their children.
