Thematic Bible: Evil example to be shunned


Thematic Bible



Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men and fall from your firm grasp on the truth.

You must not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am about to drive out before you, because they have done all these things and I am filled with disgust against them.

"'But I said to their children in the wilderness, "Do not follow the practices of your fathers; do not observe their regulations, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

Do not make friends with an angry person, and do not associate with a wrathful person, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.


When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, you must not learn the abhorrent practices of those nations.

Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
