2 Maccabees 4:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ And soothly they had (the) honours of (their) fathers at nought, and deemed (the) Greek glories best. [And they having honours of fathers at nought, deemed Greek glories best.]

¹⁶ For cause of which perilous contention had them, and they followed their ordinances; and by all things they coveted them for to be like them, which they had (as their) enemies and destroyers. [For grace of which perilous contention had them, and their ordinances they followed, or loved; and by all things they coveted for to like to them, whom they had enemies and destroyers.]

¹⁷ Forsooth for to do unfaithfully [or unpiously] against God’s laws it befalleth not without pain, but the time (pur)suing (or following) shall declare these things.
