4 Maccabees 9:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
4 For we consider this pity of yours, which ensures our safety through transgression of the law, to be more grievous than death itself. 5 You are trying to terrify us by threatening us with death by torture, as though a short time ago you learned nothing from Eleazar. 6 And if the aged men of the Hebrews because of their religion lived piously[a] while enduring torture, it would be even more fitting that we young men should die despising your coercive tortures, which our aged instructor also overcame.
