And so, dear friends, since you already know these things, continuously be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of lawless people. Otherwise, you may fall from your secure position.
You are not to live by the customs of the nations, whom I've cast away right in front of you. Because they did all of these things, I detested them.
I told their children in the wilderness, "You are not to follow the statutes of your ancestors, observe their ordinances, or be defiled by their idols.
Don't make friends with a hot-tempered man, and do not associate with someone who is easily angered, or you may learn his ways and find yourself caught in a trap.
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up and causes you trouble, or many of you will become defiled.
"When you enter the land that the LORD your God is about to give you, don't learn the detestable practices of those nations there.
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fail by following their example of disobedience.

"When the LORD your God eliminates the nations that you are about to dispossess so you can live in their land, after they have been destroyed in your sight, be careful not to be ensnared as they were. Otherwise, you will seek their gods and ask yourselves, "How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.' You must not do the same to the LORD your God, because they practiced in the presence of their gods every sort of abomination that the LORD hates. Moreover, they sacrificed their sons and daughters to their gods.
