Joshua 24:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

Joshua’s Admonition

¹⁴ Joshua said, “Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly and faithfully. Remove the gods that your fathers served in the region across the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. ¹⁵ But if you see no benefit in serving the Lord,^[a] then choose for yourselves today whomever you will serve—whether the gods that your fathers served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household—we will serve the Lord!”

¹⁶ The people responded by saying, “Far be it from us^[b] to forsake the Lord in order to serve other gods!
