1 Maccabees 2:51

⁴⁹Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:

⁵⁰Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.

— 1 Maccabees 2:51 —

⁵²Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?

⁵³Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment and was made lord of Egypt.
