Versículos relacionados com 1 Maccabees, 15:

1 Maccabees 15 narrates the covenant between the Eupator Antiochus and General Lysias, who oppose Judas Macabeu and his army. Judas seeks support from the Roman Senate and sends a letter to the powerful Roman governor, Lucius, asking for help against his enemies. Next are five verses related to the themes of the chapter:

Acts of the Apostles 23:24: "Prepare horses, so that, putting the paulos upon them, bring him saved to Felix, the governor." Like Judas Macabeu, the apostle Paul also involved in political issues and sought help from the Roman governor in danger situations.

Ecclesiastical 3:26: "The shame is for my son the affliction of the scale; more poverty is better with integrity than richness with iniquity." Integrity is a virtue valued in both the ecclesiastical book and in the history of Judas Macabeu, who refuses to submit to the powerful and maintains his struggle for the rights of his people.

2 Corinthians 8:21: "For we worry about what is honest, not only before the Lord, but also before men." Concern about honesty is another value that appears in the history of Judas Macabeu, which fights corruption and oppression in the name of justice.

Romans 13:1: "Every man is subject to the superior authorities; for there is no authority that does not come from God; and the authorities that exist were ordered by God." The relationship between religious and politicians is also a theme present in the history of Judas Macabeu, who seeks strategic alliances to protect his people.

1 Timothy 2:2: "For kings and all who are in authority, that we may have a quiet and quiet life in all pity and honesty." Prayer for leaders and authorities is also a practice encouraged in Scripture as a way of seeking peace and prosperity of society.
