4 Maccabees 1:8-10
Revised Standard Version
8 but I can demonstrate it best from the noble bravery of those who died for the sake of virtue, Elea′zar and the seven brothers and their mother. 9 All of these, by despising sufferings that bring death, demonstrated that reason controls the emotions. 10 On this anniversary[a] it is fitting for me to praise for their virtues those who, with their mother, died for the sake of nobility and goodness, but I would also call them blessed for the honor in which they are held.
