Ezekiel 11:12

12 and you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my statutes, nor obeyed my rules, ^cbut have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you.”

Matthew 6:7

7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as ^dthe Gentiles do, for ^ethey think that they will be heard ^ffor their many words.

2 Corinthians 6:14-17

The Temple of the Living God

14 ^gDo not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For ^hwhat partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or ⁱwhat fellowship has light with darkness? 15 ^jWhat 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 ^lwe are the temple of the living God; as God said,

^m“I will make my dwelling among them and ⁿwalk among them,
and ^oI will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore ^pgo out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,

Ephesians 4:17-19

The New Life

17 Now this I say and ^qtestify in the Lord, ^rthat you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, ^sin the futility of their minds. 18 They ^tare darkened in their understanding, ^ualienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to ^vtheir hardness of heart. 19 They ^whave become callous and ^xhave given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

Ephesians 5:11-12

11 ^yTake no part in the ^zunfruitful ^aaworks of darkness, but instead ^abexpose them. 12 For ^acit is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
