"When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not imitate the detestable customs of those nations.
10
No one among you is to make his son or daughter pass through the fire, practice divination, tell fortunes, interpret omens, practice sorcery,
11
cast spells, consult a medium or a familiar spirit, or inquire of the dead.
12
Everyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and the LORD your God is driving out the nations before you because of these detestable things.
13
You must be blameless before the LORD your God.
14
Though these nations you are about to drive out listen to fortune-tellers and diviners, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do this.

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_43 15:19
If you were of the world, the world would love [you as] its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_43 17:14
I have given them Your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

Regarding them: the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_47 6:14-17
14
Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
15
What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16
And what agreement does God's sanctuary have with idols? For we are the sanctuary of the living God, as God said: I will dwell among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.
17
Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord; do not touch any unclean thing, and I will welcome you.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_48 1:4
who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_49 2:2
in which you previously walked according to this worldly age, according to the ruler of the atmospheric domain, the spirit now working in the disobedient.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_49 4:17-20
17
Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their thoughts.
18
They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.
19
They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.
20
But that is not how you learned about the Messiah,
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_59 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_59 4:4
Adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_60 1:14
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_60 1:18

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_62 2:15-17
15
Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. Because everything that belongs to the world--
16
the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one's lifestyle-- is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17
And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God's will remains forever.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_62 3:13
Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_62 4:4
You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_62 4:5
They are from the world. Therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_62 5:19

ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_51 3:10
and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of his Creator.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_56 3:5
He saved us-- not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

9
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are reliable and altogether righteous.
