3. “bitterly ever after” is awkward. He seems to want to switch between common talk and poetic.

4. I was never a fan of “lust for money.” (Doesn’t “love” or “affection” for money, or even the “kissing” of money, make it sound that much dirtier?)

   How would Peterson put 4 Maccabees 1:26 in his natural English?

   “καὶ τὰ μὲν ψυχῆς ἀλαζονεία καὶ φιλαργυρία καὶ φιλοδοξία καὶ φιλονεικία καὶ βασκανία”

   maybe “lust for money and lust for glory,” but “lust for contention”?
