In context
8And it had been a worthy thing to have inscribed upon the tomb itself these words as a memorial to those of the nation,
9Here an aged priest, and an aged woman, and seven sons, are buried through the violence of a tyrant, who wished to destroy the polity of the Hebrews.
— 4 Maccabees 17:10 —
11For it was a truly divine contest which was carried through by them.
12For at that time virtue presided over the contest, approving the victory through endurance, namely, immortality, eternal life.
