1 Maccabees 12:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Yet we have desired to renew our family ties and friendship with you so that we may not become estranged from you, because considerable time has passed since you sent your letter to us. ¹¹ We remember you constantly on every occasion—at our festivals and on other appropriate days, at the sacrifices that we offer, and in our prayers—as it is right and proper to remember relatives. ¹² Furthermore, we rejoice at your success.
