LXX 2 Macc 14:38

ἦν γὰρ ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν χρόνοις τῆς ἀμιξίας κρίσεις εἰσενηνεγμένος Ἰουδαισμοῦ, καὶ σῶμα καὶ ψυχὴν ὑπέρ τοῦ Ἰουδαισμοῦ παραβεβλημένος μετὰ πάσης ἐκτενίας.

This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein.
