1 Maccabees 1:43
Douay-Rheims
And king Antiochus wrote to all his kingdom, that all the people should be one: and every one should leave his own law.
George Leo Haydock
Be one. This reason herself teaches. But the king wished to establish a false religion, or rather he desired to root out all religion, and to shew his authority. (Haydock) — Demere superstitionem & mores Gręcorum dare adnixus. (Tacitus v.) — He was not content with plunder, unless he ruined souls. (Worthington)
