IV Maccabees 11:27

27 For the guards not of a tyrant but of a divine law are our defenders: through this we keep our reasoning unconquered.

IV Maccabees 11:27 In-Context

25 For is not your inability to overrule our reasoning, and to compel us to eat the unclean, thy destruction?

26 Your fire is cold to us, your catapelts are painless, and your violence harmless.

27 For the guards not of a tyrant but of a divine law are our defenders: through this we keep our reasoning unconquered.
