1 Maccabees 3:21

21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.

1 Maccabees 3:21 In-Context

19 It is not on the size of the army that victory in battle depends, but strength comes from Heaven.

20 They come against us in great pride and lawlessness to destroy us and our wives and our children, and to despoil us;

21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.

22 He himself will crush them before us; as for you, do not be afraid of them."

23 When he finished speaking, he rushed suddenly against Seron and his army, and they were crushed before him.
