1 Maccabees 3:21

21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.

1 Maccabees 3:21 In-Context

19 For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of a host, but strength cometh from heaven.

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

21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.

22 Therefore the Lord Himself will overthrow them before our face; and as for you, be ye not afraid of them."

23 Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leaped suddenly upon them; and so Seron and his host were overthrown before him.
