Deuteronomy 13:6-11
Legacy Standard Bible
6 “(A)If your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or the wife [a]you cherish, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, ‘(B)Let us go and serve other gods’ (whom neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end), 8 (C)you shall not be willing to accept him or listen to him; (D)and your eye shall not pity him; and you shall not spare him or conceal him. 9 (E)But you shall surely kill him; (F)your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 10 So you shall stone him [b]to death because he has sought (G)to drive you from Yahweh your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of [c]slavery. 11 Thus (H)all Israel will hear and be afraid and will never again do such an evil thing among you.

Deuteronomy 13:6-11
New International Version
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices(A) you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods”(B) (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield(C) to them or listen to them. Show them no pity.(D) Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death.(E) Your hand(F) must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away(G) from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid,(H) and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
