4 Maccabees 5:34

34 I will not play false to you, O law that trained me, nor will I renounce you, beloved self-control.

4 Maccabees 5:34 In-Context

32 Therefore get your torture wheels ready and fan the fire more vehemently!

33 I do not so pity my old age as to break the ancestral law by my own act.

34 I will not play false to you, O law that trained me, nor will I renounce you, beloved self-control.

35 I will not put you to shame, philosophical reason, nor will I reject you, honored priesthood and knowledge of the law.

36 You, O king, shall not defile the honorable mouth of my old age, nor my long life lived lawfully.
