“ And by idolatry, forbidden relations, and murder, even in private and not a time with legislation and even if the idolater intends it only for his own benefit, he must be killed rather than transgress. ”
Yosef Karo, Shulchan Aruch — 157 For what mitzvot does one die rather than transgress…
“ It is forbidden for a man to claim that he is an idolater so that they will not kill him; if, however, so that they will not know he is a Jew, he changes his clothes during a time of legislation, this is permitted, since he does not say that he is an idolater. ”
Yosef Karo, Shulchan Aruch — 157 For what mitzvot does one die rather than transgress…
“ If someone is told to transgress them or he will be killed, so long as he is in private, he should transgress and not be killed. If he wants to be stringent upon himself and be killed, he may do so if the idolater intends to make him violate his religion. ”
