¹⁴^qDo not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For ^rwhat ⁴fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what ⁵communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ^syou ⁶are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

^t“I will dwell in them

And walk among them.

I will be their God,

And they shall be My people.”

¹⁷Therefore

^u“Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

¹⁸“I ^vwill be a Father to you,

and you shall be My ^wsons and daughters,

says the Lord Almighty.”

7Therefore, ^ahaving these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

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…
