4 Maccabees 11:4 In-Context

2 "I will not refuse, tyrant, to be tortured for the sake of virtue.
3 I have come of my own accord, so that by murdering me you will incur punishment from the heavenly justice for even more crimes.
4 Hater of virtue, hater of mankind, for what act of ours are you destroying us in this way?
5 Is it because we revere the Creator of all things and live according to his virtuous law?
6 But these deeds deserve honors, not tortures."
