2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 14:38

ἦν γὰρ ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν χρόνοις τῆς ἀμειξίας κρίσιν εἰσενηνεγμένος Ιουδαισμοῦ, καὶ σῶμα καὶ ψυχὴν ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ιουδαισμοῦ παραβεβλημένος μετὰ πάσης ἐκτενίας.
King James Version (KJV)

For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the religion of the Jews.

Modern English

In earlier times, when the people had not yet mixed with the Gentiles, he had been charged with practicing Judaism and had boldly risked his body and life again and again for the sake of the Jewish faith.
