4 Maccabees 18:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸ No seducer corrupted me on a desert plain, nor did the destroyer, the deceitful serpent, defile the purity of my virginity. ⁹ In the time of my maturity I remained with my husband, and when these sons had grown up their father died. A happy man was he, who lived out his life with good children, and did not have the grief of bereavement. ¹⁰ While he was still with you, he taught you the law and the prophets.
