15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them

and walk among them,

and I will be their God,

and they will be my people.”

17 Therefore,

“Come out from them

and be separate,

says the Lord.

Touch no unclean thing,

and I will receive you.”

2 Corinthians 6:15–17 — New Living Translation (NLT)

15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 16 And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:

“I will live in them

and walk among them.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers,

and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord.

Don’t touch their filthy things,

and I will welcome you.

And walk among them.

And they shall be My people.”

“Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

2 Corinthians 6:15–17 — New Century Version (NCV)

15 How can Christ and Belial, the devil, have any agreement? What can a believer have together with a nonbeliever? 16 The temple of God cannot have any agreement with idols, and we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live with them and walk with them. And I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

17 “Leave those people,

and be separate, says the Lord.

Touch nothing that is unclean,

and I will accept you.”

Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,

And touch no unclean thing;

And I will receive you,

2 Corinthians 6:15–17 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

15 Can Christ agree with the devil? Can a believer share life with an unbeliever? 16 Can God’s temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, 

“I will live and walk among them. 

I will be their God, 

and they will be my people.” 

17 The Lord says, “Get away from unbelievers. 

Separate yourselves from them. 

Have nothing to do with anything unclean.

Then I will welcome you.”

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.

2 Corinthians 6:15–17 — New International Reader’s Version (1998) (NIrV)

15 How can Christ and Satan agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 How can the temple of the true God and the statues of other gods agree?

We are the temple of the living God. God has said, “I will live with them. I will walk among them. I will be their God. And they will be my people.”

17 “So come out from among them

and be separate,

says the Lord.

Do not touch anything that is not pure and clean.

Then I will receive you.”

And do not touch what is unclean;
