In context
27Thou knowest, O God, that when I might have been saved, I am slain for the sake of the law by tortures of fire.
28Be merciful to thy people, and be satisfied with the punishment of me on their account.
— 4 Maccabees 6:29 —
30Thus speaking, the holy man departed, noble in his torments, and even to the agonies of death resisted in his reasoning for the sake of the law.
31Confessedly, therefore, religious reasoning is master of the passions.
