4 Maccabees 11:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ In the middle of this torture he said, “This contest is suitable for our godly way of life. So many of us brothers have been called to an arena of suffering because we respect God and we remain undefeated! We haven’t been defeated in this contest! ²¹ Godly knowledge can never be beaten, you tyrant. ²² I will die with my brothers also because I’m fully armed with moral character.
