4 Maccabees 15:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ To the extent that mothers are weaker and give birth to many, that’s how much more they love their children. ⁶ And this mother of seven loved her children more than any other mother. Through seven pregnancies, she planted profound love toward them within herself. ⁷ She was forced to have sympathy for each one through the multiple pains of giving birth.
