4 Maccabees 5:19

¹⁷wherefore we consider that we ought not in any point to transgress the law.

¹⁸And indeed, were our law (as you suppose) not truly divine, and if we wrongly think it divine, we should have no right even in that case to destroy our sense of religion.

— 4 Maccabees 5:19 —

²⁰For transgression of the law, whether in small or great matters, is of equal moment;

²¹for in either case the law is equally slighted.
