4 Maccabees 5:9
Print
It’s stupid not to enjoy pleasant things that aren’t shameful, and it’s wrong to refuse nature’s gifts.
It is senseless not to enjoy delicious things that are not shameful, and wrong to spurn the gifts of nature.
It is senseless not to enjoy delicious things that are not shameful and wrong to spurn the gifts of nature.
It is senseless not to enjoy delicious things that are not shameful, and wrong to spurn the gifts of nature.
