Revised Standard Version
4 Maccabees 9:2-4
Revised Standard Version
2 we are obviously putting our forefathers to shame unless we should practice ready obedience to the law and to Moses[a] our counselor. 3 Tyrant and counselor of lawlessness, in your hatred for us do not pity us more than we pity ourselves.[b] 4 For we consider this pity of yours which insures our safety through transgression of the law to be more grievous than death itself.
