4 Maccabees 11:15

15 We were born and raised to live by these principles, so we should die together for their sake.

4 Maccabees 11:15 In-Context

13 After he had died, the sixth brother, still just a boy, was brought forward. The tyrant asked him if he was willing to eat pork and so be set free.

14 He replied, "I may be younger than my brothers in age, but I'm their equal in understanding.

15 We were born and raised to live by these principles, so we should die together for their sake.

16 If you think torturing me for not eating polluting food is the right thing to do, then torture away!"

17 When he said this, they marched him up to the wheel.
