4 Maccabees 5:31

31 I'm not so old and cowardly that I can't exhibit youthful strength in my mind out of respect for God.

4 Maccabees 5:31 In-Context

29 I'm not going to break the sacred promises my ancestors made to keep the Law,

30 not even if you dig out my eyes and set my guts on fire.

31 I'm not so old and cowardly that I can't exhibit youthful strength in my mind out of respect for God.

32 Get your torture devices ready, and build up the fires to make them burn hotter.

33 I don't pity my old age so much that I will tear down the Law of my ancestors by my actions.
