4 Maccabees 7:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ For in setting his mind firm like a jutting cliff, our father Eleazar broke the maddening waves of the emotions. ⁶ O priest, worthy of the priesthood, you neither defiled your sacred teeth nor profaned your stomach, which had room only for reverence and purity, by eating defiling foods. ⁷ O man in harmony with the law and philosopher of divine life!
