Deuteronomy 13:6-11

New Life Version

⁶ “Your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your friend who is as your own soul, might tempt you in secret. They might say, ‘Let us go and worship other gods’ (whom you and your fathers have not known. ⁷ They might be gods of the nations who are around you, near you, or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other). ⁸ Do not agree with him or listen to him. Do not look on him with pity. And do not show him loving-kindness or hide him. ⁹ You must kill him. Your hand should be first against him to put him to death, and then the hand of all the people. ¹⁰ Kill him with stones, because he has tried to turn you away from the Lord your God Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land where you were servants. ¹¹ Then all Israel will hear and be afraid. No one will do such a sinful thing among you again.
