2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1
New King James Version
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (A)you[a] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
(B)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
(C)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I (D)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My (E)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
The Corinthians’ Repentance
7 Therefore,(F) having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?(A) For we are the temple(B) of the living God.(C) As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”[a](D)
17 Therefore,
“Come out from them(E)
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”[b](F)
18 And,
7 Therefore, since we have these promises,(I) dear friends,(J) let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness(K) out of reverence for God.

A Gentile Shows Her Faith(A)
21 (B)Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, (C)Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, (D)“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little (E)dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (F)great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(A)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(B) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(C) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(D)
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”(E)
25 The woman came and knelt before him.(F) “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!(G) Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
