New Testament

Leviticus 20:4-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. If the people of the land condone the giving of offspring to Molech, by failing to put the wrongdoer to death,

5. I myself will turn against that individual and his or her family, and I will cut off from their people both the wrongdoer and all who follow this person by prostituting themselves with Molech.

6. Should anyone turn to ghosts and spirits and prostitute oneself with them, I will turn against that person and cut such a one off from among the people.

7. Sanctify yourselves, then, and be holy; for I, the Lord, your God, am holy.

8. Be careful, therefore, to observe my statutes. I, the Lord, make you holy.
