20 For God's sake we gladly allow our bodies to be cut to pieces.

4 Maccabees 10:20 In-Context

18 But he said, "Tear out my tongue! God still hears those who are silent.

19 See? Here's my tongue! Cut it off. You won't make my mind quiet by doing that!

20 For God's sake we gladly allow our bodies to be cut to pieces.

21 God will quickly hunt you down for this, because you are cutting out a tongue that has been musical when it praised God with hymns!"
