Versi relativi a 1 Kings, 13:

Chapter 13 of 1 Kings narrates the story of a prophet who is sent by God to rebuke King Jeroboam for his idolatry. The prophet performs a miracle before the king, but is deceived by an elderly man who is passed by a prophet and convinces him to disobey God's instructions. As a result, the prophet is killed by a lion. Below are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics addressed in 1 Kings 13.

Deuteronomy 13:1-4: "If a prophet or someone who has dreams and gives you a sign or wonder arises, and if this sign or wonder he has announced if he fulfills, and if he says, 'Let's follow Other gods' - gods you do not know - 'and let us worship them,' do not listen to the words of this prophet or dreamer. The Lord, your God, is testing you to know if you love you with all your heart and all the soul." This verse highlights the importance of obeying God's instructions, even when it may seem difficult or contrary to other people's opinions.

Jeremiah 23:16: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts: 'Do not listen to what the prophets say. They are making them foolish. They speak visions of their own minds, not the mouth of the Lord." This verse warns against believing In false prophets who speak in the name of God, but whose words are not really inspired by Him.

2 Peter 2:1: "There have also been false prophets among the people, just as there will be false masters. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign who rescued them, bringing upon themselves sudden destruction." This verse warns that there are still people who are going through spiritual leaders, but in fact they are preaching misleading messages that can take people away from God.

Psalm 119:105: "Lamp for my feet is your word, and light to my way." This verse highlights the importance of God's Word as a guide to the Christian life. The Prophet in 1 Kings 13 would have avoided death if he had faithfully followed God's instructions.

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding; recognize the Lord in all your ways, and He will straighten your paths." This verse encourages Christians to trust God instead of trusting themselves or in other people's opinions. This is especially important in situations where the choices we make can have serious consequences.
