4 Maccabees 6:22

22 Therefore, O children of Abraham, die nobly for your religion!

4 Maccabees 6:22 In-Context

20 It would be shameful if we should survive for a little while and during that time be a laughingstock to all for our cowardice,

21 and be despised by the tyrant as unmanly by not contending even to death for our divine law.

22 Therefore, O children of Abraham, die nobly for your religion!

23 And you, guards of the tyrant, why do you delay?"

24 When they saw that he was so courageous in the face of the afflictions, and that he had not been changed by their compassion, the guards brought him to the fire.
