In context
2Knowing that religious reasoning is lord of the passions, and those not only inward but outward.
3Whence those persons giving up their bodies to pains for the sake of religion, were not only admired by men, but were deemed worthy of a divine portion.
— 4 Maccabees 18:4 —
5And the tyrant Antiochus was both punished upon earth, and is punished now he is dead; for when he was quite unable to compel the Israelites to adopt foreign customs, and to desert the manner of life of their fathers,
6then, departing from Jerusalem, he made war against the Persians.
