Page 8: Seeing stars

If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky, and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.

Deuteronomy 17:2-5

the cities of their enemies,

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed — not only in my presence, but now

much more in my absence — continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for

it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose
