4 Maccabees 8:25
Print
The Law itself would have difficulty giving us the death penalty since we sin out of fear of these instruments.
Not even the law itself would arbitrarily put us to death for fearing the instruments of torture.
Not even the law itself would consent to put us to death for fearing the instruments of torture.
Not even the law itself would arbitrarily slay us for fearing the instruments of torture.
