4 Maccabees 13:10

10 Let's not be cowards when we are called to demonstrate religious devotion to God."

4 Maccabees 13:10 In-Context

8 Standing together like a holy chorus of the godly way of life, they encouraged each other, saying,

9 "Brothers, let's die together like brothers for the sake of the Law! Let's imitate the three young men in Assyria who refused to back down when facing the same fiery test.

10 Let's not be cowards when we are called to demonstrate religious devotion to God."

11 One said, "Have courage, brother!" Another said, "Keep going with honor!"

12 Still another reminded them, "Remember where you came from. Remember the father by whose hand Isaac was ready to be killed because of his devotion to God!"
