[170] τῷ γὰρ ὄντι πᾶς ἀκόλαστος ἢ ἄδικος ἢ δειλός, ὅταν ἴδῃ τινὰ τῶν αὐστηροτέρων ἢ πόνον φεύγοντα ἢ λήμματος ἡττώμενον ἢ πρός τι τῶν ἡδονῆς φίλτρων ἐκνενευκότα, χαίρει καὶ γέγηθε καὶ τετιμῆσθαι p. 298 M. δοκεῖ, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς πολλοὺς
ἐπινεανιευόμενος καὶ ἐπιχειρονομῶν ἄρχεται περὶ τῶν ἰδίων κακῶν ὡς σφόδρα ἀναγκαίων καὶ χρησίμων φιλοσοφεῖν, οὐκ ἄν, εἰ μὴ τοιαῦτα ¹ ἦν, φάσκων ὑπομεῖναι ἂν τὸν δεῖνα εὐδόκιμον ἄνδρα χρῆσθαι.

On the Unchangeableness of God First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 170 focus

[170] for, in reality, every intemperate, or unjust, or cowardly man, when he sees any one who is more austere either avoiding labour, or subdued by gain, or yielding to any one of the allurements of pleasure, rejoices and exults, and thinks that he himself has received honour. And, moreover, going on in his rejoicing and displaying his exultation to the multitude, he begins to philosophise about his own errors as very unavoidable and not useless, saying that if they were not of such a character, that respectable man, so and so, would never have indulged in them.
