4 Maccabees 5:29

29 nor will I transgress the sacred oaths of my ancestors concerning the keeping of the law,

4 Maccabees 5:29 In-Context

27 It would be tyrannical for you to compel us not only to transgress the law, but also to eat in such a way that you may deride us for eating defiling foods, which are most hateful to us.

28 But you shall have no such occasion to laugh at me,

29 nor will I transgress the sacred oaths of my ancestors concerning the keeping of the law,

30 not even if you gouge out my eyes and burn my entrails.

31 I am not so old and cowardly as not to be young in reason on behalf of piety.
