4 Maccabees 2:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Clear thinking isn’t just being able to have control over strong sexual urges but over every other desire as well. ⁵ So the Law says, “You will not desire your neighbor’s wife or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” ⁶ Since the Law commanded us not to desire, I should be able to convince you even more that clear thinking is able to control desires.

This also proves true in the case of emotions that prevent justice.
