4 Maccabees 16:17
Print
It would really be a disgrace if you young men lost your nerve in the face of this torture after an old man endured so much suffering out of respect for God.
For it would be shameful if, while an aged man endures such agonies for the sake of religion, you young men were to be terrified by tortures.
For it would be shameful if, while an aged man endures such agonies for the sake of piety, you young men were to be terrified by tortures.
For it would be shameful if, while an aged man endures such agonies for the sake of religion, you young men were to be terrified by tortures.
