Now please forgive their sin. But if you won’t, then erase my name out of the book you have written.”

But suppose even we should preach a different“ good news.” Suppose even an angel from heaven should preach it. Suppose it is different from the good news we gave you. Then let anyone who does that be cursed by God.

Then you must not leave the body on the pole all night. Make sure you bury it that same day. Everyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse. You must not make the land“ unclean.” The Lord your God is giving it to you as your own.

So I want you to know that no one who is speaking with the help of God’s Spirit says,“ May Jesus be cursed.” And without the help of the Holy Spirit no one can say,“ Jesus is Lord.”

If anyone does not love the Lord, let a curse be on that person! Come, Lord!

I hope somehow to stir up my own people to want what you have. Perhaps I can save some of them.

So here is what I ask. Did God turn his back on his people? Not at all! I myself belong to Israel. I am one of Abraham’s children. I am from the tribe of Benjamin.

All who depend on obeying the law are under a curse. It is written,“ May everyone who doesn’t continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law be under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 27:26)

“ Listen, fellow children of Abraham! Listen, you Gentiles who worship God! This message of salvation has been sent to us.

Christ set us free from the curse of the law. He did it by becoming a curse for us. It is written,“ Everyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 21:23)

Saul said,“ Jonathan, I must certainly put you to death. If I don’t, may God punish me greatly.”

The Israelites became very hungry that day. That’s because Saul had forced the army to make a promise. He had said,“ None of you must eat any food before evening comes. You must not eat until I’ve paid my enemies back for what they did. If you do, may you be under a curse!” So none of the troops ate any food at all.

“ When Moses was 40 years old, he decided to visit the people of Israel. They were his own people.He saw one of them being treated badly by an Egyptian. So he went to help him. He got even by killing the man.Moses thought his own people would realize that God was using him to save them. But they didn’t.The next day Moses saw two Israelites fighting. He tried to make peace between them.‘ Men, you are both Israelites,’ he said.‘ Why do you want to hurt each other?’

Then Laban said to him,“ You are my own flesh and blood.” Jacob stayed with Laban for a whole month.

I couldn’t stand by and see the horrible trouble that would fall on my people! I couldn’t stand to see my family destroyed!”

The city and everything in it must be set apart to the Lord to be destroyed. But the prostitute Rahab and all those with her in her house must be spared. That’s because she hid the spies we sent.But keep away from the things that have been set apart to the Lord. If you take any of them, you will be destroyed. And you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel. You will cause it to be destroyed.
