IV Maccabees 6:21

21 and be condemned by the tyrant for unmanliness, by not contending to the death for our divine law.

IV Maccabees 6:21 In-Context

19 and ourselves should become a pattern of impiety to the young, as being an example of pollution eating.

20 It would be disgraceful if we should live on some short time, and that scorned by all men for cowardice,

21 and be condemned by the tyrant for unmanliness, by not contending to the death for our divine law.

22 Wherefore do you, O children of Abraham, die nobly for your religion.

23 Ye spearbearers of the tyrant, why do ye linger?
