4 Maccabees 10:15

15 I swear by the privileged deaths my brothers have suffered, by the eternal curse that will come on the tyrant, and by the everlasting life of those who love God: I will not deny my ties with my dignified brothers!

4 Maccabees 10:15 In-Context

13 "Don't show the same craziness as your brothers. Obey the king and save yourself!"

14 He replied, "You don't have a fire hot enough to turn me into a coward.

15 I swear by the privileged deaths my brothers have suffered, by the eternal curse that will come on the tyrant, and by the everlasting life of those who love God: I will not deny my ties with my dignified brothers!

16 Think up some new tortures, you tyrant, so that you can learn that I am a brother of those you have already tortured!"

17 When Antiochus heard this, the blood-sucking, murderous, and completely disgusting man ordered them to cut out the man's tongue.
