1-2 Some day a prophet may come along who is able to perform miracles or tell what will happen in the future. Then the prophet may say, “Let's start worshipping some new gods—some gods that we know nothing about.”
3 If the prophet says this, don't listen! The Lord your God will be watching to find out whether or not you love him with all your heart and soul.
4 You must be completely faithful to the Lord. Worship and obey only the Lord and do this with fear and trembling,
5 because he rescued you from slavery in Egypt.If a prophet tells you to disobey the Lord your God and to stop worshipping him, then that prophet is evil and must be put to death.
