2 Corinthians 6:11-18

11 We have spoken freely to you, ^{▼▼Greek Our mouth is open to you} Corinthians; ^bour heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but ^cyou are restricted in your own affections. 13 ^dIn return (I speak ^eas to children) widen your hearts also.

The Temple of the Living God

14 ^fDo not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For ^gwhat partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or ^hwhat fellowship has light with darkness? 15 ⁱWhat accord has Christ with Belial? ^{▼▼Greek Beliar} Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ^kwe are the temple of the living God; as God said,

^l“I will make my dwelling among them and ^mwalk among them,
and ⁿI will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore ^ogo out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18 ^pand I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
