6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your own son or daughter, or your wife who is in your bosom, or your friend, whom you love like your own soul, were willing to persuade you secretly, saying: ‘Let us go, and serve foreign gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 gods from any of the surrounding nations, whether these are near or far away, from the beginning even to the end of the earth, 8 you should neither agree with him, nor listen to him. And your eye should not spare him so that you take pity on him and conceal him. 9 Instead, you shall put him to death promptly. Let your hand be upon him first, and after that, let the hands of all the people be sent forth. Deuteronomy 13:6-9, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
