[2 Peter 2:7](http://biblehub.com/2_peter/2.htm), i.e. outside of the Jewish canon, but within the Christian canon.

As an Atheist after becoming familiar with the Bible, I might suggest…

Your Honor; ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, we were merely demonstrating our devotion by showing how much we hate {victim}, my daughter and Esten’s step-sister. You see, Luke 14:26 quotes Jesus as saying…

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and yes, even his life, he is not able to be My disciple.”

…and, you see, we were hoping to become disciples.
