4 Maccabees 11:2

2 "I'm not about to refuse to be tortured for the sake of moral character, you tyrant!

4 Maccabees 11:2 In-Context

1 When the fourth brother had died from cruel torture, the fifth rushed forward and said,

2 "I'm not about to refuse to be tortured for the sake of moral character, you tyrant!

3 I've come forward of my own free will so that by killing me, you will receive even more severe punishment at the hands of God's justice for more crimes!

4 Enemy of moral character! Enemy of the human race! For what crime are you destroying us in this way?

5 For honoring the creator of all things and living according to his moral Law?
