2 Corinthians 6:14-7:4

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴^(A)Do not be ^[a]mismatched with ^(B)unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness ^(C)share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? ¹⁵Or what ^(D)harmony does Christ have with ^[b]Belial, or ^[c]what does a ^(E)believer share with an ^(F)unbeliever? ¹⁶Or ^(G)what agreement does ^[d]the temple of God have with idols? For we are ^[e]^(H)the temple of ^(I)the living God; just as God said,

“^(J)I will ^(K)dwell among them and ^(L)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
¹⁷^(M)Therefore, ^(N)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
¹⁸^(O)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be ^(P)sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.

Paul Reveals His Heart

7 Therefore, having these promises, ^(Q)beloved, ^(R)let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

²^(S)Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. ³I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said ^(T)before that you are ^(U)in our hearts, to die together and to live together. ⁴My ^(V)confidence ^[f]in you is great; my ^(W)boasting in your behalf is great. I am filled with ^(X)comfort; I am overflowing with ^(Y)joy in all our affliction.
