4 Maccabees 13:22-24

Common English Bible

²² They grew more fervent as they were brought up together enjoying each other’s company day after day, and being shaped by the same education, particularly their training in God’s Law.

²³ So it is clear, when such mutual sympathy and love for each other had been established, these seven brothers had even more sympathy for each other. ²⁴ They loved each other so much because they had been educated in the same Law, held the same moral values, and were raised together to live a life that is just.
