4 Maccabees 10:13

13 "As for you, do not give way to the same insanity as your brothers, but obey the king and save yourself."

4 Maccabees 10:13 In-Context

11 but you, because of your impiety and bloodthirstiness, will undergo unceasing torments."
12 When he also had died in a manner worthy of his brothers, they dragged in the fourth, saying,
13 "As for you, do not give way to the same insanity as your brothers, but obey the king and save yourself."
14 But he said to them, "You do not have a fire hot enough to make me play the coward.
15 No, by the blessed death of my brothers, by the eternal destruction of the tyrant, and by the everlasting life of the pious, I will not renounce our noble brotherhood.
