2 Corinthians 6:14–7:1

Separation to God

¹⁴Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? ^lOr what fellowship does light ^mhave with darkness? ⁿ¹⁵What agreement does Christ have with Belial? ^oOr what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶And what agreement does God’s sanctuary have with idols? ^pFor we ^qare the sanctuary of the living God, as God said:

I will dwell among them ^r

and walk among them,

and I will be their God, ^s

and they will be My people. ^tu

¹⁷Therefore, come out from among them

and be separate, says the Lord;

do not touch any unclean thing,

and I will welcome you. ^vw

¹⁸I will be a Father ^xto you,

and you will be sons ^yand daughters to Me,

says the Lord Almighty. ^za

7Therefore, dear friends, since we have such promises, ^blet us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, ^ccompleting our sanctification ^din the fear of God. ^e
