1 Maccabees 3:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ It’s not the size of the army that brings victory in battle, because strength comes from heaven. ²⁰ They’re coming against us with a lot of pride and evil. They want to destroy us, along with our wives and children. They want to ruin us. ²¹ But we are fighting for our lives and for our laws.
