New Testament

Deuteronomy 7:4-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. For she will seduce your son, so that he will not follow me, and so that he will instead serve foreign gods. And the fury of the Lord will be enraged, and he will quickly destroy you.

5. So instead, you shall do this to them: overturn their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves, and burn up their graven images.

6. For you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you so that you would be his particular people out of all the peoples who are upon the earth.

7. It is not because you surpass all the nations in number that the Lord has joined with you and has chosen you, for you are the least numerous of any people.
