IV Maccabees 11:15

15 for having been born and reared unto the same end, we are bound to die also in behalf of the same cause.

IV Maccabees 11:15 In-Context

13 He also being dead, the sixth, quite a youth, was brought out; and on the tyrant asking him whether he would eat and be delivered, he said,

14 I am indeed younger than my brothers, but in understanding I am as old;

15 for having been born and reared unto the same end, we are bound to die also in behalf of the same cause.

16 So that if ye think proper to torment us for not eating the unclean;—torment!

17 As he said this, they brought him to the wheel.
