Deu 13:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : Not only should we refuse to join in, but we must also report the one who tries to lead us into idolatry ( v. 9 ). The person who was tempted must act as a witness against the tempter, and be the first to punish him. This shows that protecting God’s honor comes before even our closest human relationships.
