[192] πρῶτον μὲν τοίνυν τὸ πείθεσθαι θεῷ παρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς εὖ φρονοῦσι σεμνὸν καὶ περιμάχητον
εἶναι νομιζόμενον ἐν τοῖς μάλιστα ἐπετήδευεν, ὡς μηδενὸς πώποτε τῶν προστεταγμένων ἀλογῆσαι, ἄνευ δυσκολίας καὶ ἀηδίας, κἂν πόνων τε καὶ ἀλγηδόνων μεστὸν ᾖ· παρὸ καὶ τὸ χρησθὲν ἐπὶ τῷ υἱῷ γενναιότατα καὶ στερρότατα ἤνεγκεν.

On the Life of the Wise Man made perfect by Instruction or, on the Unwritten Law, that is to say, on Abraham First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 192 focus

[192] In the first place, then, he laboured above all men to obey God, which is thought an excellent thing, and an especial object for all men’s desire, by all right-minded persons, to such a degree, that he never omitted to perform anything which God commanded him, not even if it was full of arrogance and ingloriousness, or even of positive pain and misery; for which reason he also bore, in a most noble manner, and with the most unshaken fortitude, the command given to him respecting his son.
