¹⁴Do not be yoked together with those who do not believe. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness?^m Or what fellowship does lightⁿ have with darkness?^o ¹⁵What agreement does Christ have with Belial?^A Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols?^p For we^B are the temple of the living God, as God said:

I will dwell^q

and walk among them,

and I will be their God,^r

and they will be my people.^C^s

¹⁷Therefore, come out from among them

and be separate, says the Lord;

do not touch any unclean thing,

and I will welcome you.^D^t

¹⁸And I will be a Father^u to you,

and you will be sons^v and daughters to me,

says the Lord Almighty.^E^w

7So then, dear friends, since we have these promises,^x let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit,^y bringing holiness to completion^F in the fear of God.^z

Read in Logos

2 Corinthians 6:17: Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you…
