must not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you are called to
testify in a dispute, do not be swayed by the crowd to twist justice.

must be holy because I, The Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from

Deuteronomy 7:1-26 KJV (God's People)
1
When The Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou
goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the
Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations
greater and mightier than thou;
2
And when The Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt
smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant
with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt
not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4
For they will turn away thy son from following Me, that they may
serve other gods: so will the anger of The Lord be kindled against
you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and
break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their
graven images with fire.
6
For thou art an holy people unto The Lord thy God: The Lord thy God
hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all
people that are upon the face of the earth.
7
The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye
were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all
people:
8
But because The Lord loved you, and because He would keep the oath
which He had sworn unto your fathers, hath The Lord brought you out
with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen,
from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9
Know therefore that The Lord thy God, He is God, The Faithful God,
which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His
commandments to a thousand generations;
10
And repayeth them that hate Him to their face, to destroy them: He
will not be slack to him that hateth Him, He will repay him to his
face.
11
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments,
and keep, and do them, that The Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the
covenant and the mercy which He sware unto thy fathers:
13
And He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: He will
also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy
corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep, in the land which He sware unto thy fathers to
give thee.
14
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or
female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15
And The Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none
of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but
will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16
And thou shalt consume all the people which The Lord thy God shall
deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt
thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17
If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how
can I dispossess them?
18
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what
The
Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the
wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby
The
Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall The Lord thy God do unto all
the people of whom thou art afraid.
20
Moreover The Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they
that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21
Thou shalt not be frightened of them: for The Lord thy God is among
you, A Mighty God And Terrible.
22
And The Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little
and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of
the field increase upon thee.
23
But The Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy
them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24
And He shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt
destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to
stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt
not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee,
lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to The Lord thy
God.
26
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou
be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou
shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
I
Kings 11:1-6 KJV
1
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter
of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians,
and Hittites:
2 Of
the nations concerning which The Lord said unto the children of
Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto
you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods:
Solomon clave unto these in love.
3
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred
concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
4
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away
his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with The
Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and
after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6
And Solomon did evil in the sight of The Lord, and went not fully
after The Lord, as did David his father.
Psalm
1:1,2 KJV
1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful.
2
But his delight is in The Law Of The Lord; and in his Law doth he
meditate day and night.
Isaiah
52:11 KJV
Depart
ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye
out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of The
Lord.
Matthew
12:30 KJV
He
that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me
scattereth abroad.
John
15:19 KJV
If
ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye
are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you.
I
Corinthians 5:9-13 NLT
9
When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people
who indulge in sexual sin.
10
But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin,
or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to
leave this world to avoid people like that.
11 I
meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a
believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols,
or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat
with such people.
12
It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is
your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning.
13
God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You
must remove the evil person from among you.”
I
Corinthians 7:12-15 NLT
12
Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct
command from The Lord. If a fellow believer has a wife who is not a
believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not
leave her.
13
And if a believing woman has a husband who is not a believer and he
is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him.
14
For the believing wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the
believing husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your
children would not be holy, but now they are holy.
15
(But if the husband or wife who isn’t a believer insists on
leaving, let them go. In such cases the believing husband or wife is
no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in
peace.)
I
Corinthians 15:33 NLT
Don’t
be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts
good character.”
II
Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV
14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion hath light with darkness?
15
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel?
16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of The Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and
walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith
The
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18
And will be A Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters,
saith The Lord Almighty.
Ephesians
5:7,10-13 NLT
7
Don’t participate in the things these people do.
10
Carefully determine what pleases The Lord.
11
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead,
expose them.
12
It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do
in secret.
13
But their evil intentions will be exposed when The Light shines on
them,
I
Thessalonians 5:21,22 KJV
21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
II
Thessalonians 3:6.14,15 KJV
6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh
disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
14
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and
have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
II
Timothy 2:12,19 KJV
12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also
will deny us:
19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
II
Timothy 3:5 KJV
Having
a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away.
James
4:4 KJV
Ye
adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the
world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the
world is the enemy of God.
Savior,
Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
We are Thine, Thou dost befriend us, be the Guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us, seek us when we go astray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Thou hast promised to receive us, poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us, grace to cleanse and pow’r to free.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! We will early turn to Thee.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! We will early turn to Thee.
Early let us seek Thy favor, early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior, with Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.

John 1:12,13 NLT
12 But to all who believed Him and
accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God.
13 They are reborn—not with a
physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that
comes from God.
John 3:3,16,17,36 KJV
3
Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus),
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
36 He that believeth on The Son hath
everlasting Life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see
Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
