2 Corinthians 6:14-18

The Temple of the Living God

14 lDo not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For mwhat partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or nwhat fellowship has light with darkness? 15 oWhat accord has Christ with Belial?
Greek Beliar
Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
16What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For qwe are the temple of the living God; as God said,

r“I will make my dwelling among them and swalk among them,
and tI will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17Therefore ugo out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18 vand I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
