2 Maccabees 2:25

25 But I have attempted to simplify it for all readers; those who read for sheer pleasure will find enjoyment and those who want to memorize the facts will not find it difficult.

2 Maccabees 2:25 In-Context

23 I will now try to summarize in a single book the five volumes written by Jason.
24 The number of details and the bulk of material can be overwhelming for anyone who wants to read an account of the events.
25 But I have attempted to simplify it for all readers; those who read for sheer pleasure will find enjoyment and those who want to memorize the facts will not find it difficult.
26 Writing such a summary is a difficult task, demanding hard work and sleepless nights.
27 It is as difficult as preparing a banquet that people of different tastes will enjoy. But I am happy to undergo this hardship in order to please my readers.
