Be Holy

¹¹ O Corinthians! ^[a]We have spoken openly to you, ^(A)our heart is wide open. ¹² You are not restricted by us, but ^(B)you are restricted by your own affections. ¹³ Now in return for the same ^(C)(I speak as to children), you also be open.

^14 (D)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For ^(E)what ^[b]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what ^[c]communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ^(F)you^[d] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

²³ Now there was a man in their synagogue with an ^(A)unclean spirit. And he cried out, ²⁴ saying, “Let us alone! ^(B)What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I ^(C)know who You are—the ^(D)Holy One of God!”

²⁵ But Jesus ^(E)rebuked him, saying, ^[a]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” ²⁶ And when the unclean spirit ^(F)had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. ²⁷ Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, ^[b]“What is this? What new ^[c]doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” ²⁸ And immediately His ^(G)fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
