4 Maccabees 6:23

²¹and be condemned by the tyrant for unmanliness, by not contending to the death for our divine law.

²²Wherefore do you, O children of Abraham, die nobly for your religion.

— 4 Maccabees 6:23 —

²⁴Beholding him so high-minded against misery, and not changing at their pity, they led him to the fire:

²⁵then with their wickedly contrived instruments they burned him on the fire, and poured stinking fluids down into his nostrils.
