4 Maccabees 5:36

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.

— 4 Maccabees 5:36 —

³⁷My fathers shall receive me pure, not having quailed before your compulsion, though unto death.

³⁸For over the ungodly thou shalt tyrannize; but thou shalt not lord it over my thoughts about religion, either by thy arguments, or through deeds.
