IV Maccabees 5:35

35 I will not put thee to shame, O philosopher Reason; or deny thee, O honoured priesthood, and science of the law.

IV Maccabees 5:35 In-Context

33 I will not so compassionate my old age, as on my account to break the law of my country.

34 I will not belie thee, O law, my instructor! or forsake thee, O beloved self-control!

35 I will not put thee to shame, O philosopher Reason; or deny thee, O honoured priesthood, and science of the law.

36 Mouth! thou shalt not pollute my old age, nor the full stature of a perfect life.

37 My fathers shall receive me pure, not having quailed before your compulsion, though unto death.
