Temptation from Family and Friends

Deuteronomy 13:6-11

"If your brother the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or your wife whom you love, or your friend who means as much to you as yourself, secretly tries to entice you to go and serve other gods, which you haven't known, neither you nor your ancestors -

gods of the peoples surrounding you, whether near or far away from you, anywhere in the world -

you are not to consent, and you are not to listen to him; and you must not pity him or spare him; and you may not conceal him.

Rather, you must kill him! Your own hand must be the first one on him in putting him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.

You are to stone him to death; because he has tried to draw you away from ADONAI your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a life of slavery.

Then all Isra'el will hear about it and be afraid, so that they will stop doing such wickedness as this among themselves.
