In context
31I am not so old, and void of manliness, but that my rational powers are youthful in defense of my religion.
32Now then; prepare your wheels, and kindle a fiercer flame.
— 4 Maccabees 5:33 —
34I will not belie thee, O law, my instructor! or forsake thee, O beloved self-control.
35I will not put thee to shame, O philosopher Reason; or deny thee, O honored priesthood, and science of the law.
