Deuteronomy 13:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Someone might try to ·lead you to serve other gods [^Lsecretly entice you]—it might be your brother, your son or daughter, the wife you ·love [embrace], or a ·close [intimate] friend. The person might say, “Let’s go and worship other gods.” (These are gods that neither you nor your ·ancestors [fathers] have known, ⁷ gods of the people who live around you, either nearby or far away, from one end of the ·land [or earth] to the other.) ⁸ Do not ·give in to [agree with; consent to] such people. Do not listen or ·feel sorry for [^Llet your eyes look compassionately on] them, and do not ·let them go free [pity them] or ·protect [shield] them.
