Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 44:20

ὃς συνετήρησε νόμον Ὑψίστου καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν διαθήκῃ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἐν σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ ἔστησε διαθήκην καὶ ἐν πειρασμῷ εὑρέθη πιστός.
King James Version (KJV)

Who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him: he established the covenant in his flesh; and when he was proved, he was found faithful.

Modern English

he kept the law of the Most High and entered into covenant with him — he sealed the covenant in his own flesh, and when tested, he was found faithful.
